Managing feeding cost is a primary concern to nursery barn

Managers looking to reduce piglet cost per unit of gain. That is why the

Swine nutrition team of Ridley Inc. has developed the Fundamentals pig starter line. Fundamentals nursery diets contain appropriate levels of well-balanced

Ingredients to provide the piglet with essential nutrition for good nursery performance at a reasonable cost.

 

Selecting a Lower Cost Pig Starter Diet

· Pig flow is not restricted by the facilities

· Weaning older pigs

· Feeding high-intake genetic lines

· Pig health is optimal

· Performance is measured by best cost/unit of grain
