Cool Finisher
Records show that global temperatures are continuing to rise. The modern pig has been bred for leaner carcasses, resulting in pigs with increased thermal sensitivity. Fast growing lean pigs generate more heat from their feed intake, resulting in a reduction in feed intakes in heat stress conditions
To combat the problems associated with heat stress, Devenish have developed Cool Finisher, which contains a unique combination of ingredients with complimentary effects.
