It is a widely accepted concept in the dairy industry used to enhance performance during reproduction and lactation. During gestation it is important to feed a feed with a higher electrolyte balance which will cause the sow to store calcium within her bones. At farrowing a lower electrolyte balance should be utilized to cause calcium mobilization from the bones. Following farrowing a higher electrolyte balance is needed during lactation in order to optimize milk production and increase weaning weights. Overall, implementing a feeding regimen that effectively utilized the dEB principle can positively effect your bottom line. This is done by improving reproduction and decreasing the percentage of stillbirths and preweaning mortality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/prairieswine.com\/rsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Optimizing-Dietary-electrolyte-balanace-to-improve-sow-performance.pdf\">Optimizing Dietary electrolyte balance to improve sow performance<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Pieter van Wijck, Nutrition Partners Inc.
