1. Immune System Modulation
A well-functioning immune system is vital, as it helps reduce intestinal inflammation by modulating cytokine expression and limiting the release of histamine.

Our Multifactorial Approach to Effective Piglet Weaning
New nutritional strategies are crucial for managing post-weaning challenges in piglets and enhancing their overall health and resilience. As such, farmers and veterinarians require immediate, comprehensive solutions to maintain piglet performance and effectively manage pathogens.
At Kemin, we believe in a multifactorial approach to effectively weaning piglets. We know that the low cost of various banned solutions, like zinc oxide, makes finding a cost-effective alternative challenging. And to make things even more complex, every farm is unique and may require a different approach.
Therefore, we offer a range of solutions to meet your specific needs. We can help you in:
- Ensuring piglets receive essential nutrients.
- Managing post-weaning diarrhea and maintaining growth performance.
- Supporting piglets through diet changes by enhancing enzyme secretion and digestibility.
- Limiting undigested nutrients, therefore, promoting better health and growth for piglets.
- On-farm diagnostic toolkits for instant pathogen detection.
- Clinical expertise and expert guidance and support.
- Pathogen evaluation through laboratory analysis.

Discover our multifactorial approach to effective piglet weaning
A holistic approach to ensuring a smooth transition at weaning is important, and we believe in doing so to increase piglets' resilience.
Challenging post-weaning conditions such as diet and immunological changes, stress, and different environments to which piglets are exposed favor the intestinal growth of bacteria associated with post-weaning diarrhea in piglets. This makes it crucial to draw up a plan of action to reduce the pathogenic load.
We support the use of:
- Beta-(1,3)-glucan to support the immune system during the immunity gap at weaning.
- Slow-release butyrate to improve intestinal tract integrity, tight junctions, and nutrient absorption, which are under attack due to drastic changes in the diet.
- Bacillus Sp. PB6 a spore-forming microorganism with specific activity against certain potentially pathogenic bacteria. It favors beneficial bacteria to support a diverse microbiome.
- A microencapsulated blend of organic acids (calcium formate and citric acid) that can reach the intestine to manage enteric gram-negative bacterial challenges at weaning, such as E. Coli.
Specific solutions to ensuring effective piglet weaning and resilience
Below, we offer solutions tailored to your farm's specific needs. We believe that antimicrobial effects, improved intestinal health, antioxidant effects, and immune system support are important features of alternatives supporting pigs during and post-weaning.
2. Improved intestinal morphology
Maintaining a strong intestinal lining is crucial for nutrient absorption and overall gut health, as it helps reduce intestinal permeability and prevent bacterial adhesion.
3. Microbiome effects
A balanced microbiome, aided by strains like Bacillus subtilis PB6, is crucial for attacking harmful bacteria and supporting gastrointestinal health.
4. Antimicrobial effects
Controlling the major enteric pathogens during this critical and transitional period makes for successful weaning.
