๐Ÿค” One of the most frequently asked questions by producers is: what can be done to increase colostrum yield? Well, making sure the sow is provided with a well-balanced diet, access to clean water, and a comfortable and stress-free environment is a start. But do you know what’s even better? Supplementing the late gestation and lactation diet with medium chain functional lipids – especially glycerol monolaurate (GML), sold under the brand name LipoVital GL-90. 

๐Ÿ‘€โœ… GML has antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. So in plain English: it may help reduce the general inflammation farrowing usually leads to and lessen the bacterial and viral load that both the sows and their litters are exposed to in feed (particularly Clostridia, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus, along with PEDv and PRRSv), as well as increase the number of beneficial lactic acid bacteria.
