Study
- It is during the first days of their lives that piglets are particularly exposed to danger. Consequential damages springing from the stress of birth, supercooling and a carbohydrate deficiency can occur and - at a later date - both indigestions, bacterial and viral infections of the lungs, stain as well as other organs, are possible.
- The immune defence has not been developed as yet. It is only during the first two or three days that antibodies and other antitoxins are ingested together with curdled milk. The composition of the natural protective system progresses only slowly. In fact, it will require a period of several weeks in the lungs.
- 3. Leucogard® supports the effective and healthy growth of piglets not only during intensive keeping but also when rearing small herds. This is due to the following reasons:
- Leucogard® regulates and activates all three components of the immune defence system
- Leucogard® backs the normal colonization of the intestinal flora, suppresses the spread of pathological E. coli germs and diseases involving diarrhoea
- Leucogard® promotes the settling in of immunocompetent cells in the lungs of the piglet and thus the powers for the destruction of pathogenic organisms and pollutants, which are constantly taken in with the breathable air
- Leucogard® favours the development and stabilization of a balanced defence position against the outbreak of infectious diseases in the herd
- Leucogard® is of benefit to the piglets not only whilst they are being weaned from the sow but also during the overcoming of stress factors that arise on account of the changeover to a different form of food and the frights concerning the hierarchy in the herd's reorganisation
- Leucogard® contains natural cell wall components of such yeasts that bolster the defence mechanism of the piglet and do not directly attack the germs. For this reason, these pathogenic organisms cannot become resistant to Leucogard®. Aftereffects of the resistance development - as are peculiar to the application of antibiotics in the keeping of animals - are thereby ruled out for the increasing infection risks to which humans and animals are exposed.
