Pig Farming
Brazil’s pork production is a global benchmark in technology and performance—where success hinges on feed conversion efficiency, daily gain, and carcass yield. In a market shaped by volatile commodity prices and tight margins, nutritional efficiency is key to staying competitive.
Because feed dominates total production costs, every diet must guarantee precision, consistency, and high nutrient concentration from weaning through to finish. Choosing the right ingredients directly drives herd performance, batch uniformity, and bottom-line profitability.
To succeed in this demanding environment, swine producers require dependable nutritional solutions backed by scientific rigor and reliable supply—delivering the strategic edge needed to maximize farm profitability.
FS Essencial is a protein-energy ingredient with excellent amino acid digestibility. Studies conducted in Brazil demonstrate this product can be safely used in swine feed, delivering formulation flexibility and maintaining performance from weaning through finish.
Main benefits
- High standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids.
- Efficient energy and protein source for different production phases.
- Sustains performance at recommended inclusion levels.
- Can partially replace traditional protein sources, such as soybean meal.
- Traceable ingredient and lower carbon footprint.
- Contains functional components, such as glucans and yeast cell wall fractions, contributing to lower incidence of diarrhea in piglets.
- Enables lower feed formulation costs.
Recommended use
Studies conducted in Brazil indicate that FS Essencial can be used in swine feed according to the production stage.
Weanling phase: higher inclusion levels (up to 40%) ensure better results, reducing the incidence of diarrhea (potential prebiotic effect).
Growing and finishing phase: inclusion rates from 12% to 20%, according to feed composition. Higher inclusion levels should consider the balance of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to ensure optimal performance.
The inclusion level should consider the rearing phase, performance targets, and chosen nutritional strategy. For specific recommendations, access our technical guide or contact our team of specialists.
