LANCER® - More performance in piglet breeding
- The product -
WHAT IT IS
The newly approved natural feed additive Lancer® consists of the elements Lanthanum and Cerium from the group of lanthanides. These are trace elements that occur ubiquitously in the environment. In any food, regardless of whether it is vegetable or animal in nature, both elements are present. In swine production, similar additives have been used successfully in Asia and Switzerland for many years. Numerous international studies confirm the efficacy of Lancer® when it comes to growth, feed conversion rate and composition of the intestinal microbiota. The product is offered in form of Lancer® PURE or pre-diluted with a carrier as Lancer® Premix for weaned piglets
up to 120 days of life.
STUDIES PROVE
The effect of Lancer® has been proven in efficacy studies, tested by EFSA – the European Food Safety Authority – and approved as a feed additive throughout the EU. In addition, there are numerous international studies that can confirm the results. Further practical trials are also being undertaken on an ongoing basis in order to be able to exploit even more potential with the findings.
The studies prove high efficacy.
Increase of daily weight gains
Improved feed conversion
Außerdem gibt es noch zahlreiche internationale Studien und Kundenrückmeldungen, welche die Ergebnisse bestätigen. Generell wird von klar erkennbaren Entwicklungsschüben berichtet.
Schothorst Feed Research in Germany conducted a series of trials with 4 treatments in spring 2022. Several commercially available products were used in parallel with Lancer® PREMIX and evaluated by observing and assessing the parameters fecal consistency (FS), body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). It was officially found that Lancer® performed equally well compared to the control group with a liquid colistin treatment, an antibiotic used as a preventive against F4 ETEC (Escherichia coli).
POSITIVE SIDE EFFECTS
An additional benefit of Lancer® - reduced accumulation of manure.
Due to the better utilization of the feed ingredients, the amount of liquid manure is reduced significantly. The reduction in the associated amount of ammonia means, on one hand, less stress on the respiratory organs, which has a positive effect on the health of the piglets, and on the other hand, the reduction of emissions, which means a relief of the environment.
Feedback from the field
In practice, it was observed that symptoms normally triggered by S. suis. occurred less frequently.
