REDUCE PRE-WEAN MORTALITY
Improved sow genetics and management practices have resulted in larger litter sizes - but also smaller average piglet weights. Pre-wean mortality rates are now higher than ever before as smaller piglets struggle to thrive.
Reduce pre-wean mortality and save more piglets with First Pulse D.
FARROWING BARN REPORTS
“When I use First Pulse D, I can tell the difference the same day I give a treatment, sometimes within an hour of using the supplement. Each dose has a noticeable impact on piglet appetite and energy after birth.”
- Brenda R.
“First Pulse D gets lightweight piglets up and going to the colostrum! It’s like Red Bull for piglets!”
- Emily T.
PRE-WEAN MORTALITY IS AT A 5-YEAR HIGH
The U.S. Pork Industry Productivity Benchmark Report Data from 2019-2023 revealed that pre-wean mortality has hit an all-time high in the last five years.
2023 data showed pre-wean mortality held back production gains:
-
Average born alive was 13.94, +0.39 over 5 years.
-
Pigs weaned per sow was 11.61, +0.14 over 5 years.
-
Five-year high in pre-wean piglet mortality was 14.7%, +1.9% over 5 years.
-
Pre-weaning mortality ranges from 8.9% (best 10%) to 20.6% (worst 10%).
First Pulse D can help reduce pre-wean mortality.
