Research paper presented at Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition Conference on The impact of an agglomerate of dietary sodium diformate and monolaurate on the faecal microbiome of lactating sows. Co-authored by Dr Hugo Dunlop and Christine Sydenham from Apiam’s swine team.
With the inclusion of Formi GML in the lactating diet, there was a significant reduction in the abundance of clostridia spp by 42.2% and of streptococci spp. by 42.5% while the number of streptococci positive faecal samples dropped significantly by 79.6%.
