PALASWEET BOOSTS
PIG PERFORMANCE
Palasweet, a fully soluble concen-
trated liquid sweetener added to the
water supply to encourage young pigs to
drink more, helps reduce dehydration,
stimulate feed intake, improve digesti-
bility, and enhance overall perform-
ance.
The sweetener, says Nick Ever-
ington, agri-business product manager
for Tate and Lyle Speciality Sweeten-
ers, United Kingdom, has been tested
extensively at British colleges of agri-
culture and on commercial British farms
since 1982.
When 9,000 pigs were tested for a
three-week period after weaning, they
demonstrated an average 20 to 50 per
cent increase in water intake, 9 per cent
increase in feed intake, 21 per cent in-
crease in weight gain, and a 17 per cent
improvement in feed conversion.
Palasweet can also be used when
pigs are sick or temporarily off their
feed.
One litre of the highly concentrated
product is sufficient to treat 500 litres of
water.
Everington says that Palasweet costs
42.5 cents per pig every three days.
Palasweet is available at Dungannon
Feed Mill, Dungannon, and at Ralston
Purina dealers. For more information,
