RTG Livestock & Feeds

Essential Nutrients

The building blocks of superior pig nutrition and performance

Why These Nutrients Matter

RTG concentrates are formulated with scientifically proven nutrients that are essential for optimal pig growth and health. Each ingredient is carefully selected and balanced to provide maximum nutritional value and performance results.

Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid and often the first limiting amino acid in pig diets. It plays a critical role in protein synthesis and is fundamental for muscle development and growth in pigs.

Key Functions

  • Essential building block for protein and peptide synthesis
  • Supports muscle development and overall growth
  • Enables efficient utilization of other essential amino acids
  • Improves feed efficiency and growth rates
  • Critical for optimal pig development at all life stages

Benefits in Pig Nutrition

  • Maximizes growth performance and weight gain
  • Enhances feed conversion ratios
  • Supports lean muscle development
  • Optimizes protein utilization efficiency
  • Essential for breeding and lactating sows

Methionine

Methionine is an indispensable amino acid, typically the second or third limiting amino acid in swine diets. Beyond protein synthesis, it serves multiple vital functions including methylation processes and antioxidant defense.

Key Functions

  • Fundamental building block for protein biosynthesis
  • Provides methyl groups for DNA, RNA, and protein methylation
  • Precursor for antioxidants (glutathione and cysteine)
  • Supports immune system development and function
  • Promotes healthy muscle growth and development
  • Essential for keratin formation (healthy skin and hair)

Benefits in Pig Nutrition

  • Improves growth performance and nitrogen retention
  • Enhances immune function and disease resistance
  • Provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress
  • Supports lactating sows in producing high-quality milk
  • Promotes overall health and vitality
  • Reduces protein degradation and improves muscle accretion

Fish Meal

Fish meal is a premium protein source containing 62-70% high-quality protein with an excellent amino acid profile. It provides a comprehensive package of essential nutrients that significantly improve pig health and performance.

Key Functions

  • Provides high-quality, easily digestible protein
  • Delivers balanced essential amino acids (lysine and methionine)
  • Supplies omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA)
  • Rich source of vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12)
  • Contains essential minerals (calcium, phosphorus, selenium)
  • Enhances feed palatability and intake

Benefits in Pig Nutrition

  • Improves growth rates and feed conversion efficiency
  • Supports strong immune system functionality
  • Reduces inflammation with omega-3 fatty acids
  • Promotes healthy gut microflora balance
  • Particularly beneficial for weaning piglets
  • Encourages faster feed intake during stress periods
  • Reduces environmental impact through better nutrient absorption

Toxin Binder

Toxin Binder is a specialized feed additive formulated to neutralize and eliminate harmful mycotoxins commonly found in animal feeds. It protects pigs from the damaging effects of contaminated feed ingredients, safeguarding health, growth, and productivity.

Key Functions

  • Binds and deactivates mycotoxins (aflatoxins, zearalenone, fumonisins, ochratoxin) in the digestive tract
  • Prevents absorption of harmful toxins into the bloodstream
  • Supports liver and kidney function by reducing toxin load
  • Protects gut integrity and overall digestive health
  • Enhances immune response by lowering stress from contaminants
  • Improves feed safety and storage stability

Benefits in Pig Nutrition

  • Prevents toxin-related growth setbacks and poor performance
  • Reduces mortality and health issues linked to contaminated feed
  • Improves reproductive performance in sows and boars
  • Maintains consistent weight gain and feed conversion efficiency
  • Protects long-term health of the herd
  • Offers peace of mind even when feed ingredient quality varies

Enzyme

Feed Enzymes are biologically active proteins that break down complex nutrients in pig feed, making them more digestible and bioavailable. They unlock hidden nutritional value from raw materials, maximizing feed efficiency and lowering production costs.

Key Functions

  • Breaks down fiber (NSPs), starch, protein, and phytate in feed ingredients
  • Improves nutrient digestion and absorption in the small intestine
  • Releases trapped energy from plant-based ingredients
  • Unlocks phosphorus bound in phytate (reduces need for inorganic phosphate)
  • Supports gut health by reducing undigested residues
  • Enhances overall feed utilization efficiency

Benefits in Pig Nutrition

  • Significantly improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) and profitability
  • Maximizes value from lower-cost feed ingredients
  • Reduces feed cost per kilogram of weight gain
  • Decreases nutrient excretion and environmental impact
  • Promotes better growth rates and uniformity in the herd
  • Supports healthier gut microflora and reduced digestive upsets
