Supports the urine release process Properties MIXTRAL can be used on pigs, poultry and ruminants. In these species, the purgation and urine release process plays a vital role for sustaining the organism in cases of intoxication and dehydration. Periods such as reproduction (farrowing, insemination), feed changes and temperature variations (increase of water consumption) must be handled with care. For sows in farms, it is advised to use MIXTRAL on a regular basis before parturition and right after leaving the maternity. The goal is then to contribute to the successful delivery of piglets at farrowing and to keep sow’s urogenital tract in good condition through the production cycle. MIXTRAL is available in a form that complies with the specifications of organic farming. Trials MIXTRAL’s effect was evaluated on sow herds during farrowing and reproduction as part of a de-medication process of pig farming. MIXTRAL’s short-term impact on gilts’ urinary pH was tested, as was its long-term impact on sows’ urinary condition. Each time, the goals of these experiments were to limit collective antibiotic use for urinary problems. These experiments showed a significant decrease in sows’ urine pH after MIXTRAL was used. This effect was achieved without resorting to acidifiers. Therefore this program allows for a long-term management of sanitary risks relating to the urinary tract by achieving a 90% reduction of antibiotic use by resorting to selective antibiotic therapy.
