Krasnopolsky MMK LLC (Sumy region) is fighting pig dysentery with the help of phytobiotics. They are absolutely natural preparations aimed at healthy fattening of animals and obtaining environmental products.

According to him, as a result, in the research groups receiving dry and liquid phytobiotics, there were no cases of dysentery, and pig production indicators improved.

“The average weight of piglets in the first quarter of 2019 was 8.3 kg., Whereas without the use of phytobiotics it was 7.95 kg.,” Said Igor Voshchenko. - Slaughter mass after feeding the drug reached 122.3 kg. (+ 2.9%), and the period of fattening decreased by 18 days. "

In addition, after changing the feeding technology, the slaughter yield increased by 1.1%, daily average growth increased by 4.2%, and feed conversion improved by 3.94% to 3.65 kg., He added.
