PRODUCTS FOR:
Swine
Stuart Products has injectable and oral fat-soluble vitamins for specific applications. All products have been university and field tested. Bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins is critically important for both injectable and oral formulations. Our products have superior bioavailability compared to competitive products. Our injectable and oral products were the first to utilize “d-alpha tocopherol”- the non-ester form of vitamin E for enhanced bioavailability. Furthermore, the form of vitamin A in our products is “retinyl palmitate”, the biologically active form of vitamin A. Competitive products contain “retinyl propionate”, which when injected is not bioavailable.
For Weaned Pigs
The EMCELLE® products are formulated to be added to drinking water. These products are unique in two ways. Firstly, the form of vitamin E is the same form found in sows’ milk. Secondly, the fat-soluble vitamins are made water soluble by a process called “micellization” which enhances absorption. Feed-grade vitamin E-acetate is very poorly utilized by the newly-weaned pig due to lack of enzyme necessary to remove the acetate ester (de-esterification) prior to absorption. With EMCELLE those two critically important steps are not required prior to absorption. Classical signs of vitamin E deficiency in newly-weaned pigs are “Mulberry Heart Disease” and impaired immunocompetency.
University experiments and field demonstrations have demonstrated the efficacy of EMCELLE products in calves.
EMCELLE® E-D3
ORAL PRODUCT
When lactating sows are fed adequate fat-soluble vitamins during lactating, pigs at weaning typically are adequate in vitamins E and A, but may be low in vitamin D status due to low D levels in milk. An interesting observation is that after weaning vitamin E status diminishes very quickly. The only ways to enhance vitamin status after weaning is to either inject or administer vitamins in the drinking water. EMCELLE E-D3 administered in drinking water (378 I.U. vitamin E and 22,700 I.U. vitamin D per gallon, respectively) keeps vitamin E and D status from dropping to critically low levels.
EMCELLE® TOCOPHEROL
ORAL PRODUCT
Has the same form and level of vitamin E as EMCELLE® E-D3, but without the vitamin D.
EMCELLE® D3
ORAL PRODUCT
Has micellized vitamin D3 It is recommended when nursery pigs are showing vitamin D deficiencies.
For Grow/Finish
EMCELLE® D3
ORAL PRODUCT
Has micellized vitamin D3 It is recommended when finishing swine are showing vitamin D deficiencies.
