Unique product for sows proven to stimulate feed intake during lactation.
Feed intake is critical to sow and litter performance particularly during lactation where inadequate intakes can lead to poor litter weights and thin sows at weaning. Krave AP has been developed specifically to stimulate appetite and feed intake during lactation to overcome the challenges to productivity and profit associated with inadequate sow feed intake.
Ensures adequate nutrition for sow maintenance and milk production.
Heavier more homogeneous litters at weaning.
Reduces sow body condition loss during lactation, shorter weaning to oestrus interval, better conception, higher farrowing rate
Extends the productive life of sows on the unit.
Heavier weaning weights positively influence growth and time to finish.
The modern sow has been genetically selected to be lean and prolific often at the expense of body reserves in the form of fat and appetite. With potential to raise more than 14 piglets per litter at over 3 kg/day litter weight gain everything must be done to ensure feed intake is maximised particularly in the final week of lactation where milk demand is at its peak.
There are many factors that influence feed intake including the quality and palatability of the diet. Pigs are extremely sensitive to taste, much more so than humans, and research has shown that the palatability of a diet can influence feeding behaviour.
