Development of New NexGen Advanced Pig Starters without Fishmeal

  • Fishmeal has become expensive for early pig starters, leading to research on alternatives like cheese proteins, poultry meal, and soy proteins. The new NexGen Advanced formulations resulted in small improvements in performance, lower diet costs along with favorable net returns compared to the previous formulas that contained fishmeal.

Efficacy of a Newer Phytase Source in Kent NexGen Advanced Pig Starters

  • DSM-Ferminich’s new, fourth-generation phytase enhances pig diets by breaking down phytate, making nutrients like phosphorus more bioavailable. Based on this research, the Kent NexGen Advanced pig starters contain 750 FYT/kg of phytase which improves profitability and contributes to environmental sustainability.
