We offer product solutions to meet the nutritional requirements of your piglets and a range of complementary products to help enhance their health status too, creating a holistic approach to rearing healthy pigs in today’s modern challenging environment.

Our global research and development programme results in the development of cutting edge nutrition and health solutions aimed at the continual improvement of piglet performance.

We provide your piglets with optimum, tailored packages setting them out on the right road to exploit their full genetic potential and develop into high quality finished pigs.

Building on our unrivalled reputation, we have developed the SCA Weanrite range of piglet diets. These diets aim to help producers to fully exploit the advantages of today’s advanced genotypes whilst harnessing recent developments in health management and husbandry. SCA Weanrite diets employ the most up to date advances in natural feed additives developed under our own research and development programme. SCA Weanrite diets can help you to manage and fine tune your feeding regimes to produce consistently high quality animals which meet the most stringent market requirements.

Having maximized the potential of your piglets, you need to give them the best finish they can get.

Using home-grown raw materials, our nutritionists will combine them with the right products to maximise nutritional potential, making sure that the home mix rations are produced with the optimum specification and are tailored to meet the requirements of your pigs.

The SCA Mixrite range of home mix products includes protein/energy blends, concentrates, premixes and fishmeal replacers.

A suite of specially formulated diets dedicated to optimizing the productivity of sows is also available.

Concentrates - a full range of protein concentrates to complement home-grown cereals for finished pig rations.

Premixes - a range of premixes for inclusion in home-mix rations specifically designed to balance the vitamin, mineral and amino acid requirements of pigs. A mixture of minerals, vitamins and essential micro-elements, they are an essential requirement to compose balanced animal feed.

Fishmeal Replacer - Aquaplus is a high-quality vegetable-protein-based alternative to fishmeal. It supplies highly-digestible amino acids, omega-3 fish-oils, B-group vitamins, and its digestible amino-acid profile is 90% similar to fishmeal itself. This reduces the reliance on vegetable-protein sources with a lower digestibility (such as Hipro Soya) and, as a consequence, aids efficient growth of all classes of animal.

TranZone Rip 'n' Tip - a completely unique medication-free package of natural feed components developed to aid piglet viability, TranZone can help piglets thrive and to grow quickly and efficiently into top quality finished pigs. TranZone is available in Rip 'n' Tip packs for home mixers and through premixes.
