Farrowing Issue.

26.30 to ship. not going to happen there has to be a better way

[mtbkmom]

We finally got our local feed store to carry some of this product. Once you get it you will not regret it. It is worth that much in shipping vs losing a momma &/or litter and the hundreds of potential dollars. The 5 pound bucket lasts forever.

i was looking at a 10lb bag. is there a self life on it?

[mtbkmom]

The 5 pound bag came with a zip lock thing on the top. We only brought out a small amount to the barn and left the rest inside our pig med cabinet at the house. We had 10 sows and had a bunch left over. I was going to call them and find out myself but looking at the weekend now.

I just used Transrite for the first time. The sows farrowed quickly, without incident, all babies alive and the sows got right back on feed. I will never farrow again without it.

I want to know the shelf life as well. ( can you freeze it etc) I will try to call and post back here, unless mtbkmom finds out first.

Piggy, where do you get the transrite ultra.

[HogDoc]

There is nothing in this product that is going to degrade over the time you would use a 10 pound bag even if you just farrow a half dozen sows.
The only thing I could see potentially causing an issue is the fact that it will take on water if exposed to humidity. Keep the container sealed and you should be fine.

Thanks HogDoc!!! Was wondering the same thing!

[SFS]

would putting it in a freezer be the best option?

[HogDoc]

I don't see any reason to freeze it just seal it up and keep it dry.
