Drying Agents
Getting the baby pig warm and dry is the first step of a program designed to support and nurture the newborn pig.
At birth, baby pigs experience a sudden and significant decrease in ambient temperature. This presents a challenge, as baby pigs are more prone to excessive heat loss due to their limited energy reserves. For this reason, it is critical that baby pigs are dried and warmed immediately after birth and the first step in our 3E platform.
It’s important to establish a comfortable environment that is warm and dry to reduce chilling and wasted energy.
The dual-purpose drying agent and scours support for newborn and pre-weaned pigs.
Dual Dry® is a dual-purpose drying agent for both the environment and the young pig itself. The dark color of Dual Dry promotes absorption of radiant heat and increases the core body temperature of young pigs. Applying Dual Dry to the mats helps absorb moisture limiting the potential growth of bacteria. The drying of wet surfaces creates a safer, more sanitary environment for the caretaker, as well as the baby pig.
Drying agent with essential oils for newborn and preweaned pigs.
The first moments of a pig’s life are critical to their wellbeing. Newborn pigs have little energy reserve which is easily wasted when they shiver due to being cold. Drying the pig immediately after birth is key to providing pigs with an optimal start to life along with establishing a dry, healthy environment. Tech Dry is a high-quality drying agent that reduces the potential growth of bacteria, mold, and fungus.
Drying agent for livestock and facilities.
The health of an animal, particularly young animals, is directly related to its environment. Reducing moisture supports a stable, healthy environment. Simpli Dry™ is a single function drying agent that can be used in a variety of building types and animal species to reduce the potential for growth of bacteria while providing a more comfortable environment.
