Redefine your PSY. Your sows and your circumstances aren’t like anyone else’s. So only you can define the metrics that drive your success. 

Whether it’s parity, piglets per litter, pre-wean potential, pounds per sow, or a particular productivity path, define the PSY that matters for you — we'll supply the portfolio, people, and customized services.

A sow system is a complex machine: you can't typically move one lever to the exclusion of others. Parity may affect litter size; pounds per sow can affect parity; litter size might impact pre-wean gains. Rethink PSY as a metric that matters to you.

MEASURING BIOMARKERS

Solving the mystery of sow productivity involves intense examination of the clues — but finding all the clues and fitting them together is still a challenge within the swine industry.

Identifying and measuring biomarkers can be an important consideration in unlocking some of these clues. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other bodily fluids, or tissues that displays a normal or abnormal process, or even a specific condition. This can allow you and your herd veterinarian to more quickly determine a harmful condition and select the best intervention option — saving valuable time in observation and diagnosis.

For instance, chronic inflammation in pigs isn’t easy to quantify, but you can see its harmful effects on overall health and performance. By measuring the in-body biomarker Elanco discovered to gauge its presence, we can confirm if a pig is experiencing chronic inflammatory stress and at what level.

If you are combating productivity issues in your sow herd, low weaning numbers, high sow mortality, or longer wean-to-estrus intervals, to name a few, consider if inflammatory stress could be the culprit. 

Know for sure with our biomarker sampling tool, and be one step closer to finding the lever that helps you reach your productivity goals.



VACCINES


Parvo Shield® - 10 dose

  • Swine icon

Consistent conception and farrowing rates for large litters can be impacted by disease challenges in prebreeding. Parvo Shield® L5E provides protection against parvovirus, five leptospirosis strains, and erysipelas to protect against reproductive loss.


INJECTABLES


Increxxa 100 - 100mL

  • Swine icon

Balancing whole herd health with individual pig solutions. Combat SRD with IncrexxaTM’s (tulathromycin injection) industry-proven molecule


FEED


Pulmotil® Premix

  • Swine icon

Pulmotil® sets a foundation for health management by controlling SRD associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) and Pasteurella multocida. Feeding Pulmotil for the duration of lactation (21 days) to control respiratory disease in lactating sows decreases mortality in the farrowing and nursery phase.


WATER SOLUBLES


Pulmotil® AC (tilmicosin phosphate)

  • Swine icon

Pulmotil® AC quickly and effectively controls SRD associated with M. hyo in the presence of PRRS without the need to formulate new rations, or invest the additional time, individual documentation and repeated injection associated with individual pig injections.
