Lactolevure
A strong start for piglets, calves, lambs and kids, from the first feed
Complementary feed to maternal milk in an isotonic gel, with inactivated yeasts and their fresh metabolites, lactose and electrolytes. It is offered free-choice in a dish and prepares the suckling animal for the move to solid feed.
Where the profitability of the batch is decided
A piglet, lamb or calf that is born light, does not take colostrum well or faces the stress of transport, heat or weaning early on takes longer to get going, grows less and is harder to rear.
And the move from milk to solid feed is another critical moment: the sooner it starts eating, the less it loses at weaning.
Weak animals that need energy and protein from day one.
Heat, transport or arrival at the fattening unit in the middle of the suckling phase.
The sooner it starts eating, the less weight it loses at weaning.
Five reasons to put it in the dish
Supports the viability of low-birth-weight piglets, lambs, kids and calves, with energy and protein from day one.
Supports growth during the suckling period and helps reduce losses at this stage.
Encourages early intake of foods other than maternal milk and pre-starter feed, which is key for weaning.
Shortens the period of negative energy balance at weaning and reduces weight loss.
Supports the balance of the digestive microbiota in stressful situations such as heat, transport or arrival at the fattening unit.
What the yeast produces, ready from the first feed
It is the postbiotic of the range: it does not provide live yeasts, but what they produce during fermentation, together with energy and electrolytes in a gel that the animal takes on its own.
Yeast metabolites
The postbiotic part: inactivated yeasts and their metabolites, which support the balance of the suckling animal's digestive microbiota.
Lactose, sugars and electrolytes
They provide energy and help keep the animal hydrated.
Isotonic gel in a dish
Its texture and taste get the animal used to eating away from its mother and prepare the move to starter feed.

In a dish, free-choice
Orally, in a dish, free-choice. Shake before use. Programmes by species and stage:
A litter of 12 piglets, at 750 ml per piglet during their first 14 days, uses about 9 litres of Lactolevure, just under two 5 kg containers. A batch of 40 calves arriving at the fattening unit, at 100 ml per calf per day for 7 days, needs 28 litres, about 29 kg of product.

What dose should I use in piglets?
According to the technical data sheet, 750 ml per piglet during the first 14 days of life, and 50 ml per piglet per day with the starter feed for 7 days pre- and post-weaning. For weak piglets, 2 ml into the mouth for two days.
And in calves?
In newborn suckling calves, 50 ml per calf per day during the first 14 days; on arrival at fattening, 100 ml per calf per day for 7 days, with the milk replacer or in the drinking water.
Is there a withdrawal period?
No. No withdrawal period is required for meat or milk.
How should it be stored and how long does it keep?
With the container tightly closed, in a cool (no more than 25 °C), dry place, away from heat and sunlight. It is best used within one month of manufacture, so it is better to order it according to expected use.
Does it replace veterinary treatment?
