BEconomic benefits of using FLUISTART
7.32kg – 6.56kg = 0.76kg/head
(significant increase per weaned head)
0.76 x 10.41 = 7.92 kg (significant increase per
weaned brood)
7.92kg x € 6.00* = € 47.52
(increased revenue per brood/year)
*medium rate of 6kg piglets in the year 2004

OBSERVATION:
less weakened and underweight piglets during weaning
sows less weakened by lactation and in better physical
condition
reduction in the number of post-weaning runts
