ENHANCED OMEGA 3 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENT

In nature the pig would consume an extremely wide variety of different things ranging from seeds and roots to insects and animals. This diet would provide all the nutrients necessary for survival and reproduction enabling the pig to thrive. This ideal diet is not reflected in a modern pig production unit where economic and physical factors determine that a very narrow range of ingredients are used in the diet. The energy level in the feed is another critical factor in feed formulation and this is usually provided by starch from cereals with vegetable oil being added to achieve the necessary...

Trails have demonstrated that boars given feed supplemented with additional essential omega 3 fatty acids produce semen with significantly higher sperm counts. Those sperm have significantly higher viability and this results in a significantly higher number of piglets born alive. • Greater amount ejaculate • Higher concentration • Higher amount of doses of semen Omega Oil Maintains Ratio Essential Fatty Acids Effect on Boar Fertility As boars become older they tend to become less fertile. Analysis of the sperm indicate that with aging the ratio of omega 6:omega 3 fatty acids in the...

Sow Reproduction Omega 3 fatty acids have the effect of reducing prostaglandin PGF2a thus improving maternal recognition of pregnancy. This means a much higher rate of foetal survival during pregnancy resulting in bigger litter size. Not only are there more piglets born alive but the viability of the piglets is improved leading to greater number of piglets weaned. Piglet Development Omega 3 fatty acids are transferred to the piglet during pregnancy and via the milk. Increases in the supply of these essential fatty acids increases the brain size and activity of the piglets leading to less...

Fatty Acids: Ratio Omega 6 to Omega 3 LA EPA is a 20 carbon chain polyunsaturated essential fatty acid that acts as a precursor for series prostaglandin 3. Prostaglandins contain 20 carbon atoms and they have an important role in regulating many functions in the body. EPA is found in sow’s milk and in this way essential fatty acids can be passed to the young piglet to boost the immune system and support its early development. EPA Boosts immune system. Supports early development. DHA is a 22 carbon chain fatty acid and is a primary structural component of the brain and retina and is the most...

AGROMEGA’s combined effects on boars, sows and piglets can give 0.5 extra piglet weaned per sow/litter that has a huge impact on the profitability of a pig breeding operation. Recommended Inclusion Rates: As Agromega is on a high absorbent carrier, it comes in an easy to use powder form. Pregnant sows: 10 kg/t feed Lactating sows: 6 kg/t feed Boars: 10 kg/t feed Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, E45 RK11, Irel
