EnMax

Starter Program

We are committed to continually research new technologies and their practical application to our EnMax™ nursery program. Once these technologies have been scientifically evaluated to provide a benefit to nursery pig production, then these technologies are implemented into the EnMax™ program. This provides our customers with new technologies and allows them to stay at the forefront of advancements in weaning pig nutrition.

Match diet complexity with physiological maturation of the pig's gastrointestinal tract.
Utilization of high quality, highly digestible ingredients

Product Summary

Pork Flex Early Wean Starter Pellet (#5818)

A very high quality complex starter for feeding piglets in the crate and nursery when weaning weights are less than 12 Ibs or 21 days.

Base contains high levels of crystalline amino acids, organic selenium, vitamins, trace minerals, calcium, phosphorus, and phytase.

In most cases feed intake dictates gain. That fact is most noticeable in the nursery, when body stores of nutrients are small. It is most important for pigs to eat feed so those stores can be replenished and developed. Because the EnMaxTMnu rsery feed program from Ralco Nutrition, Inc. is based on precision formulation and age, which provides newly weaned pigs with the nutrients and ingredients they can digest, the program minimizes gut damage and improves feed intake and gain. Ralco's nursery program includes EnMaxrMN ursery 65 Base (#5824). This precise base mix contains high levels of synthetic amino acids, organic selenium, vitamins, trace mineral, calcium, phosphorus and phytase.

Precision formulation values crystalline amino acids that are completely digestible and require little energy to be absorbed and utilized compared to amino acids in soybean meal or other protein sources. Ideal amino acid ratios are scientifically proven to increase production and fast, efficient lean gain. Using highly digestible amino acid sources and balancing ratios reduce nitrogen excretion and ammonia production. Precision formulation utilizes the net energy system, which is the energy available to the pig for producing pork. Ralco provides the technology that producers use to improve production and lean gain.

"All of the feedback we have been receiving is very positive. Producers say that intake is up which is what the nursery program is all about," said Dr. Jeff Knott, of Ralco Nutrition, Inc.
