VIC Group is awarded the Grand Prix of the AGROS-2023 expo for its AXION SWINE feed additive

During the AGROS expo, VIC Group received the award in the category of the Best Feeding Solution for the natural feed additive AXION SWINE.

This product has no analogues on the Russian market by its composition and principle of action.

AXION SWINE is designed to increase the milk productivity of sows. The main active substances are flavonoids (Baikalin and Baikalein of Baikal skullcap extract) which decrease oxidative stress of sows and promote the growth and development of alveolar cells of mammary glands.

When consuming the feed additive, the sows feel more comfortable, the cells of mammary gland alveoli are preserved during lactation, because they are less damaged due to oxidative stress.

Experience of using this product at Russian pig farms showed that the piglets of the experimental group weighed 6.4% more than the control group, their number was 4.8% higher and their survival rate increased by 3.3%. When calculating the economic efficiency, the additional profit amounts to 3408 rubles per sow's litter.

Insufficient milk productivity of sows is a topical issue for Russian pig breeding enterprises. Over 20 years of industry intensive development, genetic solutions have increased the multiple pregnancy rate from 10 to 18-20 piglets per sow. However, the volume of colostrum and milk production of the animals remained at the same level, which negatively affects the safety and live weight of weaned piglets.
