Tonisity Px
Highly-palatable Isotonic Solution for Pigs
- Helps pigs get off to the right start
- Feeds the pig’s gut from day 2 of life
- Improves gut health
- Improves weight gain
- Improves the lifetime performance of your pigs
- Reduces pre-weaning mortality
A highly-palatable isotonic protein solution supplying essential nutrients to the piglet gut from day 2 of life.
The first week of a pig’s life is a critical time for gut development and for microbiome colonisation, having long-lasting effects on the piglet’s survival and growth. By nourishing the gut through its rapid development in early life, Tonisity Px results in better absorption of nutrients from the sow’s milk, higher survival, and optimal lifetime performance. Tonisity Px contains key amino acids, nutrients and electrolytes for pre-weaning piglets. It helps pigs get off to the right start and this early intervention delivers long-term benefits. Unlock your pigs’ potential!
Tonisity Px comes in 1kg and 5kg resealable bags.
Tonisity Px is the only known 'non-milk' drink for pigs that is used from day 2 and throughout the weaning period. It helps pigs cope with daily stress and has a taste profile they can't resist. The first week for a new-born piglet sets the course for healthy growth and a healthy system throughout its lifetime. That's why it's so important to target the absorption of nutrients at a cellular level from as early as day 2.
Tonisity Px is the first isotonic protein drink that contains key ingredients to nourish the intestinal cells, the enterocytes. Enterocytes are the final gateway for the absorption of proteins and carbohydrates into the body. If the enterocytes are working efficiently, then the body is able to absorb more nutrients. Tonisity Px contains ingredients which support the efficient function of the enterocytes. By supporting the enterocytes, Tonisity Px helps pigs overcome the key productivity hurdles of neonatal piglets and assists with a smooth transition through weaning.
Various strategies are used to try to overcome these hurdles. Milk replacer, electrolyte solutions and quick-start drenches are all used by producers to give extra energy and fluids to piglets. Antibiotics, probiotics, pre-biotics and plant extracts are all used in an attempt to modify the intestinal bacteria population. However, none of those strategies actually improve the function of the enterocytes, which are the engines that are responsible for absorbing any nutrients. A more focused approach is to nourish the intestinal cells themselves and help them to do the best job they can of absorbing nutrients. This is the approach that Tonisity has taken in the development of Tonisity Px.
Tonisity has taken great care to investigate how best to use Tonisity Px and to demonstrate the return on investment to producers. This research has shown that Tonisity Px has a positive impact and a positive ROI.
