Alltech at ASAS Midwest: Advancing swine nutrition

Alltech is proud to actively participate in the upcoming ASAS Midwest meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, March 9–12. Our team will present groundbreaking research on pig nutrition and health, and our experts will share insights into optimizing performance and health for nursery and growing pigs.

These presentations represent the outcomes of Alltech internal research as well as collaboration with key partners. They reflect Alltech’s commitment to advancing pig nutrition and health through commercial-scale research.

Topics will include:

• The effects of in-feed acidifier (Acid-Aid™) on nursery pig growth performance

• The effects of Allzyme® Swine HC on nursery pig growth performance, bone mineralization and plasma inositol
• Effects of benzoic acid, or a blend of organic and inorganic acids (Acid-Aid), in nursery diets on pig performance and survivability
• Ileal and total tract digestibility of amino acids and minerals in growing pig diets supplemented with Allzyme Swine HC
• How probiotic and synbiotic preparations limit the growth of multi-drug-resistant pathogens in vitro
• Residual phytase activity of Allzyme Swine HC under commercial feed manufacturing practices
• Evaluation of net energy, standardized ileal digestible lysine, and soybean meal content interactions in 10- to 23-kg pigs using a factorial design
• Evaluation of calcium administration protocols around farrowing on sow farrowing performance
• Effects of standardized ileal digestible lysine:crude protein ratio in diets with or without distiller’s dried grains with solubles on growth performance of 11- to 20-kg pigs

We invite all ASAS Midwest attendees to connect with our team to learn more about how our cutting-edge research can help producers and nutritionists make informed decisions to support animal health, production efficiency and overall sustainability. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with industry experts and gain valuable insights into the latest advancements.

Also, be sure to follow our updates during the event on Facebook, X and LinkedIn, and visit our website at alltech.com to learn more about the key takeaways.

We look forward to seeing you there!
