Innovative Fermentation

"A good piglet is made around birth".

​

​​During first week(s) of live, suckling and weaned piglets are sensible for diarrhoea. This is already many decades a major financial, health, and welfare problem. In the past, this problem was surpressed by using antibiotics and/or medicinal doses of zinc oxide. This is now prohibited, and the industry is looking for alternatives. All sorts of additives and/or special luxioury feed specially for the weaning period are used; these products are often high-prices and/or not always effective. Dr.FERM thinks "out of the box". In principle, a piglet is born sterile and during birth, it ingests bacteria (via the sow and via the environment). Why don't we ensure that the piglet recieves loads of beneficial bacteria, and not the pathogenic bacteria carried by the sow? That makes much more sense, and that's how "Mother Nature" intended it. After all, why a newborn piglet eats sow manure?

 

Fermentation is the perfect technology to produce high numbers of positive lactic acid bacteria and the metabolites produced during fermentation (the so-called postbiotics). Dr.FERM developed a simple and reliable fermentation concept that takes care of your pigs. This concept can be used in both liquid diets as well as dry diets or raw materials. Our experiences and data show that feed hygiene / quality is better maintained and the number of unwanted microbes like Escherichia Coli and Clostridia Perfringens in the manure are strongly reduced. With this concept, we create the basis for a more stable and better functioning intestine of the sows and their newborn piglets. Contact us to get more detailled information.

 

The concept is usable for all pig farms: dry-feed, liquid feed, large farms, small farms, organic farms. The farmer produces with minimum labor (5 minutes) his/her own powerful liquid ferment (DF MaxPro for large quantities, DF PigCare for small quanties). This liquid ferment is very easy applicable: via pump (liquid diets) or pump + nozzle (dry feed). Low investment, low costs, very effective.
