Effect of feed additive Sanbio SANA on productivity and offal of fattening pigs, Belgorod State Agricultural University, Russia

Belgorod, Russia (September 18, 2015) – The present study was planned to investigate the effect of feed additive Sanbio SANA on the performance on fattening pigs

This project is being carried out within the collaboration between the Belgorod State Agricultural University named after V. Gorin (BSAU named after V.Gorin) – Russia, GEOCON WEST – Russia and SANBOS GmbH – Germany.

1.  Materials and methods

During the 90-day-feeding period 90 fatteneing pigs were assigned to treatments without and with supplementation of Sanbio SANA.

The trial was run without adverse technical events (e.g. power failure, feed/water failures, etc.).

3.  Conclusion

To summarize, the present study shows significantly positive effects of Sanbio SANA on productive performance and offal yield.

The positive effects at a glance:

  • Safety and tolerance when used dietary additions
  • Increase of daily weight gain (+50g/d, +7.1%)
  • Reduction of feed intake (4.13kg, -1.76%)
  • Improvement of FCR (-0.31, -8.3%)
  • Increase of offal yield and quality.
