DairyOptimal Resistance – OmniGen Experiences
OmniGen supports the resistance of a cow in a natural way. A cow's immune system is regularly under fire by a host of organisms, including bacteria and viruses. In addition, stress has a negative effect on the operation of the immune system. Changes in the daily rhythm of a cow cause the cow to be under stress, which produces the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone suppresses the immune system.

PigletsProper sow milk supplementation is crucial

A larger number of piglets per litter often means a decline in birth weights. This makes feed supplementation all the more important.
