Selko-pH
Selko-pH effectively reduces the pH of water. In this way, Selko-pH supports improved digestibility of diet components and maintains a stable intestinal microbiota. This results in healthy animals with optimal performance.
Ensuring water quality for grower-finisher pigs
Although water makes up half of a grower-finisher’s body, it is the most neglected nutrient. Animals drink almost twice as much as they eat, making clean, fresh water essential for their growth. The microbiological quality of water has a tremendous impact on health and performance.
How to recognise
Water plays an important role in temperature control, nutrient transport, waste and digestive processes, and if compromised, can negatively affect performance, health and well-being. Insufficient water or feed intake, accompanied by unexplained drops in health or performance, may indicate water quality issues.
The impact on the farmer
Sub-optimal water quality will negatively impact health and performance of animals and lead to decreased profitability for the farmer.
The things you can not see directly
To ensure water quality for the herd, it must be monitored from source to drinker. We recommend a comprehensive biosecurity and farm management programme that starts with good water at the source and ensures hygienic conditions throughout the water system.
