Westside | Episode 11: Tonisity - What is your Return on Investment (ROI)?
Tonisity Px is a ground-breaking product and the only known ‘non-milk’ drink for pigs that is used from Day 2 and throughout the weaning period. It is a highly palatable isotonic protein drink supplying essential nutrients and protein to all swine classes. Developed by the collaboration of food scientists and veterinarians specializing in emergency and critical care, Tonisity Px was scientifically formulated to provide key amino acids, early isotonic hydration and nutritional support for new born pigs from 24-48 hours old. By decreasing the gut pH and supporting metabolic function of intestinal cells, Tonisity Px improves pig health, resulting in fewer deaths and removals. The first week for a new born piglet sets the course for healthy growth and a healthy system throughout its lifetime. That’s why it’s so important to target the absorption of nutrients at a cellular level from as early as Day 2. Attached is a brochure setting out the essential merits of this product.
Westside | Episode 10: The Application of Tonisity
It only requires 200g of PxW in 100 litres of water (1kg to 500 litres) to make a palatable combination of amino acids and electrolytes that delivers hydration and appetite stimulation during the weaning transition through the water lines! https://westside.co.za/tonisity/
