Gastric ulcers remain one of the most common and costly health challenges in modern pig production, affecting pigs at all stages—from piglets to sows—and ranking as the fourth leading cause of mortality in the industry. Stress factors like transport, weather changes, and new housing conditions can trigger ulcers, reducing feed intake, impacting growth, and sometimes leading to sudden death.
Research highlighted in the report shows that plasma-derived functional proteins offer a promising solution. Studies demonstrate that feeding plasma-derived proteins:
-
Improves ulcer recovery rates by up to 70%
-
Delivers an average 8:1 return on investment
-
Supports feed and water intake while promoting weight gain
Product options such as AP 920, Appetein, and Solutein provide flexible ways to incorporate plasma proteins into diets or water systems, helping pigs recover faster and reducing overall production losses.
