PetBotanicals in action: translating science from lab to piglet weaning
Bonetti A. and Tugnoli B. (2025). SFT Pig Conference 2025
For performance enhancing
Enhancing swine performance requires precise nutritional strategies that support intestinal health, particularly as alternatives to traditional growth promoters. Many active compounds, such as organic acids and botanicals, are degraded in the stomach, limiting their effectiveness in the intestine where they are most needed. Microencapsulation technology overcomes this limitation by protecting these ingredients within a lipid matrix. This matrix ensures the active compounds bypass the gastric environment and are gradually released, delivering their benefits along the entire gut.
All the products
This targeted delivery is central to products like AviPlus®S, a blend of microencapsulated organic acids (citric, sorbic) and botanicals (thymol, vanillin). It improves feed conversion efficiency and weight gain. For the critical post-weaning period, AviPower®5 offers a specialized solution. This combination of selected botanicals is designed to support piglets during E. coli and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) related stress, restoring gut integrity and sustaining growth. It serves as a direct alternative to pharmacological levels of zinc oxide.
Production Efficiency
The strategic use of microencapsulated additives represents a shift from simple supplementation to precise gut environment management. By ensuring the targeted intestinal release of synergistic compounds, this technology supports the animal’s physiological resilience. This approach leads to measurable improvements in key production metrics, such as feed conversion and daily gain, fostering a more efficient and robust production system.
