Ralco, Marshall, Missouri, has announced the launch of its latest swine product, Essential-Lyte, a natural water additive designed to get weaned pigs drinking and eating quickly. Weaning is a difficult transition for piglets, who suddenly find themselves in an unfamiliar environment with no sow. This stress can suppress their appetite causing their health to quickly decline. After only 36 hours without food or water, pigs are unlikely to survive. Essential-Lyte was created to support piglet gut health and immunity and to provide the nutrients pigs need to stay healthy and thrive in this challenging period. Essential-Lyte contains a blend of natural ingredients including Ralco’s patented Microfused Essential Oils, Actifibe Prebiotic, vitamins E and D, a water acidifier and electrolytes.
