Directions

Thoroughly mix 1.5kg of HOGRO™ SILVER BREEDER PREMIX to each 1 tonne of mixed feed to supplement the diets of commercial breeding pigs with essential vitamins and minerals.

To ensure even dispersion of premix in the total ration it is recommended that each kg of premix is first blended with 4kg of feed and that this blend is then thoroughly mixed with the remainder of the feed.

Discussion

HOGRO™ SILVER BREEDER premix contains adequate levels of vitamins and trace minerals suitable for your commercial breeding stock.
HOGRO™ SILVER BREEDER vitamin and mineral pig premix also contains folic acid - an expensive but very important vitamin associated with improving the number of piglets born. Biotin, another expensive vitamin is also included to help prevent foot lesions.

 

 

All BEC premixes are designed to maximise vitamin stability and potency. Each kilogram of this premix contains 33g of antioxidant to guard against vitamin degradation. The fat soluble vitamins A,D and K, are most prone to oxidation and loss of activity when mixed and stored with minerals, To further enhance stability of vitamins A only MICROVIT A1000 SUPRA is used. MICROVIT A1000 SUPRA utilises a special coating technology to protect individual beadlets of vitamins A1000 from the abrasive and destabilising influences of a mineral and vitamin premix.

Choline Chloride is not included in this premix because many studies have shown it to adversely affect the potency of other vitamins. Choline Chloride is however a necessary vitamin for breeders and should be included in breeder rations at 500-1000g/tonne, or as recommended by your consulting nutritionist.

It has been proven that the Mixability™ of micro-nutrients into a complete feed is greatly enhanced with a higher inclusion level. Poorly distributed premixes may result in variable micronutrient intake and food utilisation. For this reason HOGRO SILVER BREEDER is included at 1.5kg / tonne of feed.

The quality of BEC premixes is not limited to our vitamins and minerals. Carriers, diluents and dust suppressants are skilfully selected to ensure the customer is provided with a consistent, non-dusty, evenly distributed product. Dustiness in premixes may be hazardous to the mixing operator and result in valuable vitamins and trace elements not reaching the breeding animal.
