So, Why has research and practice shown that, under certain conditions, higher levels of vitamin D3 can improve overall health and productivity parameters?
The following article addresses, from different angles, several questions that can lead to a reflection and conclusion on this fact, and why, the additional use of the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the form of vegetable glucoside is a optimal tool for the most critical phases.

Modern agriculture and livestock focus on efficient food and feed production, as the goal is to use resources sparingly and reduce emissions. Two prerequisites are necessary to achieve these goals: a good feed conversion rate and achieving animal health.
What role does brewer’s yeast play in feed production? Its use is an effective measure to improve the welfare of calves and cows that contributes to greater efficiency and sustainability in milk production. The range of yeast products available on the market for animal nutrition is very diverse and depending on the type of product, its use and the effects on the health and performance of the animals may change.
And so, what makes it so special and essential? we can see the detail in the following article.

S.suis is the causal agent of big losses in pig production, becasuse in addition to being a zoonotic agent (the most important bacterial cause of meningitis in pigs) it is very difficult to control due to its great variety of serotypes. The development of an infection then depends on multiple factors dependent on the host, the environment and the pathogen.
When the commensal S. suis finds the favorable conditions for its replication, invasion and evasion of the immune mechanisms, it begins to express its pathogenicity, and here, strategies for its control must tackle the problem including all the factors that intervene. In addition to this, the reduction in the use of antibiotics has also led to an increased incidence of S. suis-related problems on farms, with an increase in resistance to antibiotics, especially amoxicillin.
So, how do you control and face Streptococcus Suis?
With an adequate nutritional approach, which must be based on the control of the S. suis population in the digestive tract, the maintenance of an effective intestinal barrier function and the support of the animal’s immune system.
In the following article, we detail how the use of asaGRAM+ can help to control S. suis infections supported by three pillars.

Forza+ is a product developed for newly weaned piglets. It is formulated with a porcine plasma base and natural water soluble antioxidants that contribute to improve the productivity and wellness of animals. Although it is especially indicated for smaller animals or tails, it can be administered to all weaned piglets.
The weaning is a stressful situation for the piglet that usually causes poor feed intake during the first week after weaning. The innovative formulation of Forza+ makes possible its dissolution in water in order to guarantee its consumption, even when animals do not eat dry food.
Do you still have any doubts of its application? Take a look of this video

The main effects of the contribution of spray dried animal plasma (SDP – Spray Dried Plasma) are the stimulation of intake and the reduction of post-weaning growth loss, together with an improvement in digestive health and performance. These effects are more notorius in young piglets or with a high infection pressure.
SDP contains a wide variety of functional proteins (immunoglobulins, albumin, growth factors, and biologically active peptides) whose mechanisms of action are diverse: Reduction of proinflammatory cytokine expression; improvement of the immunocompetence of the piglet due to the contribution of immunoglobulins; improvement of intestinal morphology and enzymatic activity, and others.
Although porcine plasma has traditionally been used for these purposes, there are recent studies that consider avian plasma to be a good alternative as a total or partial replacement for porcine plasma.
In the following article we detail the results of these studies and the advantages of using Avian Plasma.

]]>asaD3+ incorporates Solanum glaucophyllum, a dietary source of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) in the form of glycoside. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D3, the result of two metabolic steps in the liver and kidney.
asaD3+ acts in a few hours, releasing a gradual amount of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in the intestinal tract that will be used without activation in the liver or kidney.
In the following article you can find the details of the benefits of asaD3+ in swine.

ALZOGUR, is the only biocidal product registered in Spain for the control of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae in slurry. Through its application, brachyspiras and flies are eliminated simultaneously. In this way, disease outbreaks are prevented and antibiotic treatments are reduced.
How does it apply and how does the use of ALZOGUR benefit us? The detailed in the following article.
