Kemin EnteroSure Product Presentation

On behalf of Kemin and Suidae Innovative Research, Dr. Amanda Anderson Reever gave a presentation at the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) Annual Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee in March 2024. The project evaluated Kemin’s EnteroSure product- a novel active microbial solution that can be fed in nursery rations to pigs with expected toxigenic E. coli challenges. EnteroSure was developed to improve gut health and therefore reduce scours, improve weight gain, and increase survivability in pigs impacted by toxigenic E. coli. Over 2,000 piglets were placed on feed- half of which were fed EnteroSure while the other half received a control diet. Piglets were sorted by size to evaluate the impact of EnteroSure in different circumstances.

As seen in the graph above, EnteroSure resulted in numeric advantages for all groups of pigs, while yielding significantly higher weight gain in the small and medium pigs. Although no significant mortality improvement was found in this study, EnteroSure may be a cost-effective option to consider for improving weight gain in nursery pigs with F18 E. coli.
