Why an AllBite™ block? 

 

The AllBite block changes pig behavior by adding a new stimulus to the environment. AllBite allows pigs to exhibit foraging behaviors and to bite and chew on the block instead of on their pen-mates. Furthermore, the AllBite formulation provides a nutritional solution that includes functional ingredients known to calm pigs by enhancing their serotonin receptors. AllBite is an economical option for those looking to positively impact the welfare of their animals.

What are the causes of tail-biting in pigs?
