Stalosan F contributes to reducing the risk of hernia

Abstract

A Danish pig farm switched to antibiotics-free production, resulting in umbilical hernia occurring in 4% of the pigs. Consequently, the production strategy was altered: the iodine treatment as well as the sawdust and potato flour were replaced by Stalosan F. Over the course of three months, the prevalence of hernia had dropped from 4% to 2.8%.
