Swine Calm® – Imbali LTD

SWINE CALM® SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES STRESS AND ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR.

Swine Calm® is a pheromone formulation which acts as a social communicator of having a calming effect on pigs reducing fear, apprehension, anxiety as well as behavioral and physical consequences associated with stress.

Anti-social (aggressive and submissive) behavior, mortality, delays in growth and disorders in behavior (including ear and tail biting) often occur in stress related conditions.

Spray when regrouping growing pigs and weaned sows; transporting; or moving into new pens – until stress signals are reduced. Can also be sprayed daily to minimize anti-social behavior among older regrouped growing pigs to aid in improving Average Daily Gain and Feed Conversion Ratio.

Spray floor before re-stocking.

Spray walls, or bedding area, or over pigs. When spraying over pigs use a Phero Sprayer, or finely spray using a knapsack sprayer, or fogger, at a rate of one ml per pig.

'We have started using the SWINE CALM® on our 8 week old pigs last week. We’re doing 3 out of 7 big pens and they definitely seem to settle down quicker after walking through them. We’re starting to get into our tail-biting risk zone, so hopefully we’ll see some difference. We’ve not yet used it on the weaned sows, but it is something we’re thinking about.'

'We see an immediate response using SWINE CALM® on our weaned sows. It has stopped all aggressive behaviour, completely.'

'SWINE CALM® sprayed on newly weaned mixed pigs has cut down fighting and ear biting by 70%. For pigs under 100 kg we use SWINE CALM® on loading days - they are much easier to herd and load. SWINE CALM® has stopped fighting completely when used on regrouped weaned sows.'
