Revving up the milk production
Oral application of an anti-inflammatory agent: Less stress and improved animal welfare
Research at the LfULG Kollitsch showed:
Anti-inflammatory agents, when applied orally and at the right moment will result in
- Lower (normal) body-temperature of the sow
- Better feed-intake of the sow
- 7 % less pre-weaning losses and higher weaning weights
Modern anti-inflammatory agents have a broader spectrum of activity:
- They reduce signs of inflammation
- Reduce pain
- Reduce the impact of endotoxin-production
