A healthy intestinal environment is critical to increasing piglet value through improved nutrient utilization. Healthy and strong enterocytes can better absorb nutrients and support weaned piglet growth. Intestinal mucus and epithelial cells also help defend swine against harmful bacteria and toxins.
The intestine does more than just absorb nutrients, it’s also the first layer of defense against harmful bacteria and feed contamination. A healthy intestinal immune system naturally helps protect swine and is essential for optimal animal welfare and well-being.
