Neophos Swine

In the pig feed industry, phosphorus releases into the environment are one of the key issues facing producers and breeders. Moreover, in light of the recent rise in raw material prices and the latest innovations in pig feed, proteins are increasingly being replaced by synthetic amino acids. This has led to the reduction of the ration’s electrolyte balance, a zootechnical tool that has a direct impact on animal performance. In this context, the inorganic feed phosphate NEOPHOS brings is a highly digestible phosphorus (20%), but also calcium (20%) and sodium (5%).
Consequently, At the same time, with its chlorine-free sodium, NEOPHOS can alleviate the negative effect of the incorporation of amino acids on the electrolyte balance which consider sodium, potassium and chloride in its calculation. In fact, in hot weather conditions, this inorganic source of chlorine-free sodium can mitigate the effects on pig metabolism. Finally, the combination of these 3 elements allows to replace partially some ingredient in the formulation such as calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate which provide more flexibility to the formulator.
