Cargill Animal Nutrition is launching the Neopigg™ RescueCare program at the EuroTier exhibition, Hannover, Germany on 11-14 November 2014. Neopigg™ RescueCare is part of of the Neopigg program, which was recently launched globally. The program is designed to help pork producers increase the life expectancy of their pigs through an advanced feeding program that targets neonatal nutrition. Neopigg™ RescueCare is a unique liquid feeding program for piglets and is developed by Cargill specifically for European pig producers, integrating 7 years of developments from their liquid neonatal nutrition. Neopigg™ RescueCare combines a high quality liquid feeding program with modern automated feeding equipment.
The new Neopigg™ RescueCare feeding system is designed to increase sow farm productivity, defined as the kilograms of delivered pigs per sow per year at 10 weeks of age. Neopigg™ RescueCare consists of two new liquid products complimenting each other:
- Neopigg™ RescueMilk 2.0, a specially formulated milk replacer which meets the piglet's protein and energy requirements and stimulates the development of the digestive system
- Neopigg™ Smooth 2.0, a unique liquid pre-starter improving growth rates through better feed intakes. Both products are designed to be fed through Neopigg™ RescueCups making the fresh liquid feed available 24/7.
The advantage of the Neopigg™ liquid feeding program is the ability for producers to rear larger litters without the need for foster sows, enhancing piglet's growth and health, enabling the farmer to have up to 30% less low weight class pigs. Cargill trials have shown that using Neopigg™ RescueCare improves litter weaning weights by over 0.5 kg. As a result, piglet performance is also increased over the nursery period. Neopigg™ RescueCare substantially improves sow productivity through heavier and healthier piglets, as well as more productive sows, thus resulting in higher sow herd profitability.
Neopigg™ RescueCare is available under the Provimi™ brand. For more information visit the Cargill stand and our dedicated Neopigg™ RescueCare booth at EuroTier or visit our website: www.provimi.nl/eurotier
