Pigipro is a milk replacer (preferably used only as a supplement as far as possible!) and Baby Wean is a prestarter. This means that their aim is different. Pigipro gives your piglets extra milk to take the strain off the sow and give better weaning weights. Baby Wean is mixed as a porridge and helps your piglets to start eating solids earlier so that their digestive system adapts quicker to solid feed. It will also help them to start eating their creep feed earlier. Think of it this way, Pigipro Milk Care is like formula milk for human babies whereas Baby Wean is like Purity.
No! Colostrum contains vital antibodies that builds the piglet’s immune system at birth. Pigipro can’t provide them with this. Colostrum is always essential after birth. Once the piglets have received colostrum, Pigipro serves as an ideal supplement for the sow’s milk. As far as possible, keep the piglets with the sow and give Pigipro as an extra boost for optimal growth.
Only speciality feed for the young piglet (milk replacer, prestarter, creep and link feed). Other than that, we are a micronutrient company and only produce and supply premixes, macro packs and feed additives.
Yes! Warm water ensures that the nutritious fats in these products are available to the piglet.
No, we are simply a micronutrient company that provides specialised feed, feed additives and premixes to help your piglets grow to their potential.
The problem is that we typically stop feeding a creep feed at 42 days because of the cost implication. Yet, that piglet only adapts to plant-based diets at 49 days. This is why Link Feed is ideal at this stage. It is more economic to feed than a creep feed, but it still contains milk-based products and highly digestible plant protein, but at a lower level than your creep feed. This provides a smaller step for your piglets between the creep and weaner feed, ensuring that you give their digestive system the optimal opportunity to adapt.
When a piglet is weaned at 21-28 days, it can still mostly digest milk. In nature, a piglet will only be completely weaned off the sow’s milk at 49 days of age. That is when it’s digestive system is ready to use plant-based nutrients. So that is why we provide Jump Start. Jump Start contains highly digestible milk protein and lactose that the piglet can use to grow at this sensitive stage. It also contains a moderate level of processed plant proteins that are highly digestible, speeding up the piglet’s gut development so that it can use less expensive sources of nutrients, like maize and soya.

Yes, Lacto Calf contains probiotics that helps to limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the GUT.
Yes, Lacto Calf does contain skim milk as part of its formulation.
When calculating the cost/L for Lacto Calf mixed at 125g/L according to the mixing instructions, it is R5.72/L. Taking the current price of R6.50 (2023/03/08), it costs less to feed a calf Lacto Calf milk replacer.
Lacto Calf is available at selected agricultural retail shops such as Alzu, Forge Agri, TWK etc. It is also available at our head office in Pretoria and depot in Howick, KZN.
The Calf company is a calf raising concept that places the focus specifically on raising healthy calves and consists of several focus points: nutrition, programs, immunity, growth and training. Please visit our website for more information.
We have a variety of products available for calves. Please see calf section.
No, we do not sell animals. We are a premix and feed additive company.
When feeding our milk replacer, mix 125g of powder to 1Litre of water and make it available to the calves for 8 weeks. From as early as possible, provide roughage at all times. Calf starter can be fed at small amounts until 2 weeks after weaning when feed intake is about 1kg/calf/day. Calf grower can be fed from 2 weeks after weaning until 4 months of age.
Training requires several visits to your farm. Firstly, we would like to see what systems are in place currently and what the normal routine is. Follow up visits will then be arranged for training purposes, focusing on where improvements are necessary and where to finetune staff skills.
