Introlac can be used up to 20% in feeds depending on the age of the animal. A higher dosage should be used for younger animals in order to increase daily weight gain and feed efficiency and to obtain better production results in general. The usage rate of Introlac also depends on the quality and price of the available raw materials being mixed into the feed.
Introlac should also be used in the sow rations when they are suffering from weight loss. An application of 200 grams daily will result in immediate weight gain. This is especially important during the last phase of lactation when the piglets triple their body weight. Introlac increases piglet weight and reduces the stress of the sow. It is customary to wean piglets at 4-5 weeks of age and often times can be done even sooner, so the sow can produce more piglets during the course of a year. The disadvantage of early weaning is that the piglets must consume solid feed at an earlier age which can cause digestive problems. The addition of Introlac to the diet reduces the negative effects of this adjustment by permitting parallel feeding of solids during lactation.
