Baseline
- Baseline is a feed ingredient that can be fed to sows in lactation and gestation, along with nursery pigs.
- Operational stress can lead to sow, pre-wean and wean-to-finish mortality, high wean-to-estrus intervals, and higher variability in production. Baseline supports the ability of sows and pigs to better handle operational stress.
- Elanco has identified a biomarker associated with operational stress in sows and pigs. Studies have established the biomarker as a predictive tool that enables producers to understand the risk profile of their herd. By utilizing this biomarker, the farrow to market mortality can be predicted.
