Swine Calm® is a pheromone formulation which acts as a social communicator of having a calming effect on pigs reducing fear, apprehension, anxiety as well as behavioural and physical consequences associated with stress.
Anti-social (aggressive and submissive) behaviour, pathological disorders, mortality, delays in growth and disorders in behaviour (including tail biting) often occur in stress related conditions.
Swine Calm® can be used at any age when re-grouping, transporting, or when pigs show anti-social behaviour. Applying Swine Calm® daily can also improve average daily gain and gain:feed ratio.
Swine Calm® is applied using the Phero Sprayer, or calibrated on-farm knapsack/backpack sprayer, finely sprayed over pigs bodies in affected pens at a rate of 0.8 ml per pig. Spraying can be done once, or twice, daily.
