KGB

Post by Agtopper » Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:30 pm

KGB, is the new advertised feed additive in Honor Chow a result of stomach issues assumed to be from lack of medicated feeds after the med bans? Asking because we had weight gain issues as well as gut problems that we haven't had in the past. Have talked with people in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois as well as here in Kentucky that seemed to struggle this year.

It will certainly help that’s for sure. We would have included Ambitine in the HSC Showpig feeds regardless of the VFD regulations. It does specifically help improve gut health.

We also included Vitacy-S as well as Ambitine in Prelude 209 and Prelude 309 which research has shown to be very beneficial in young piglets.

The VFD regulations targeted growth promotants, and unfortunately we saw that impact.

I have a question. The website for 709 says that it is available with Lynco and tylan. Is that new this year. I though that it was removed last year. I may be mistaken though and just over looked it.

I assume this could be for facilities that are working with a VET and have a VFD. I appreciate all the good information you give us in this site.

Unfortunately, our website has not been updated. None of our feeds are available with Linco or Tylan.
