KENT Nutrition Group’s Innovative Solutions team introduced Efficor — a novel probiotic for the swine industry — on Jan. 16. This new probiotic L. plantarum strain was developed in collaboration with a leading university, the company shared in a release.
Research trials show Efficor helps improve growth performance and feed efficiency in growing and finishing pigs.
“From our findings in independent grow-finish trials, Efficor can make an immediate impact for the swine industry with nearly $2.00 per pig in feed cost savings, as a result of improved efficiencies,” Kale Causemaker, senior director of Innovative Solutions, said in a release.
This novel probiotic stands out as it is of swine origin, the company said in a release. Innovative Solutions worked with university researchers to identify the unique strain of L. plantarum. This work showed that Efficor may help provide significant results that help positively impact animal performance and health.
“EFFICOR has a low inclusion rate, is cost effective and provides a positive return on investment,” Causemaker said in a release. “We see great potential benefits to pork producers.”
