Xtra Sow/Boar Topdress

For the Breeding Herd

Net Weight: 20 kg    Product #: 910863

The reproductive nutrient requirements are far more complicated than traditional feeding programs would lead us to believe. Combine the different nutrient demands of the many phases in the reproductive cycle and the rapidly increasing genetic potential for litter size, milk production, litter growth rate and other demanding capabilities and it becomes easy to understand the needs and benefits of targeted supplementation of the breeding herd. By refining our thinking about feeding for optimum reproductive performance, we can economically and effectively take advantage of the latest discoveries in nutritional research and technology.

Who Uses

Producers looking to supplement gilt, sow and boar nutrition by targeting the nutrient needs of the critical phases of the reproductive cycle. The Xtra topdress program is specially formulated to target the increased nutrient demands of reproducing pigs at critical points in the reproductive cycle: Breeding, Post-Breeding, Pre-Farrowing, Late Lactation Sows and Breeding Boars.

Feeding Directions

Feed 100 grams (3/4 scoop) per head per day according to the phase you are targeting.

Type of Swine Phase Period
Sows & Gilts Breeding 0 – 7 Days
Sows & Gilts Post-Breeding 0 – 21 Days
Sows & Gilts Pre-Farrowing 14 Days
Sows Late Lactation 7 Days
Boars Spring, Fall, Winter Every 2nd Day
Boars Summer Daily

Features & Benefits

Contains Bioplexes.
More bioavailable and more readily adsorbed, stored and utilized by the sow. Trace minerals contribute to reproductive performance, number of piglets per litter and support piglet survivability.

Contains Sel-Plex®.
Supports mineral retention and optimizes and animal performance. Selenium promotes sow longevity and piglet viability.

Contains Yea-Sacc®.
Enhances digestibility, and utilization of nutrients as well as promoting feed intake.

Contains De-Odorase®.
De-Odorase forms part of a nutritional strategy to reduce the impact of ammonia in swine facilities.
