Improve Your Bottom Line and Cut Your Losses Short
FerAppease can help you prioritize your pigs' welfare and help them respond better to stressful events while improving your profitability.
Shift Your Pigs from Surviving to Thriving
Stress and aggression is known to induce drastic changes in the way pigs utilize nutrients.
Epinephrine & Cortisol
The stress hormone epinephrine is known to increase gastrointestinal movement which causes nutrients to exit the body before they are fully digested. A second stress hormone, cortisol, is known to induce insulin resistance and catabolism, meaning that fat and muscle tissues are breaking down to provide energy to the stressed body.
Survival Mode
Stressed pigs are in survival mode, where the priority is to provide resources to the body in order for flight or to fight an eminent treat, and this metabolic status is very energy inefficient. You can overcome this obstacle with FerAppease mSAS
FerAppease MSAS
The active ingredient of FerAppease is a synthetic analogue of the Maternal Swine Appeasing Substance (mSAS). mSAS is a naturally occurring substance that is secreted by the skin of the mammary gland of lactating sows, eliminating stress in all swine treated.

FerAppease in the Field
Ease the Stress.
We use the FerAppease swine on our show pig projects from the day we receive them. Our family will travel back east and get pigs from multiple different pig farms and bring them back to our barn. We will apply FerAppease to each pig as they are put on the trailer to ease the stress, calm the pig, and reduce the urge to fight each other. We also use it when we get home to help break pigs to drive, before travel to state and national shows, as well as area jackpots, and help calm the higher energy pigs.
