Novel swine origin probiotic strain delivers feed cost savings
Trials show novel probiotic L. plantarum strain helps improve growth performance and feed efficiency in growing and finishing pigs.
Dr. Tom Weber, technical manager with the Kent Nutrition Group Innovative Solutions team, sits down to discuss the benefits of EFFICOR, a ground-breaking new probiotic for the swine industry. This novel probiotic L. plantarum (ATCC PTA-127487) strain was developed in collaboration with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, Research & Extension with independent research trials showing that EFFICOR helps improve growth performance and feed efficiency in growing and finishing pigs. The findings showed that EFFICOR™ can result in nearly $2.00 per pig in feed cost savings, as a result of improved efficiencies.
Innovative Solutions worked with university researchers to identify the unique strain of L. plantarum (ATCC PTA-127487), which stands out because it is of swine origin. "EFFICOR™ is a cost effective nutrition solution to help improve sustainable pork production," added Kale Causemaker, Senior Director, Innovative Solutions.
