Losing Profit from Poor FCR, Weak Piglet Starts & Slow Growth?
Every extra day to market weight costs money.
Every poor feed conversion ratio increases feed expense.
Every weaning setback reduces herd performance.
That is why modern swine farms, feed mills, and premix manufacturers are replacing outdated additives with smarter nutrition systems.
Chitosan Oligosaccharide Feed Grade (COS) Helps Support:
- Better feed conversion ratio (FCR)
- Stronger piglet transition after weaning
- Improved gut health and digestion
- Better nutrient absorption
- More consistent daily gain
- Stronger immune resilience
- Lower stress-related losses
- Cleaner reduced-antibiotic feed strategies

Why More Pig Producers Are Switching to COS
Feed is the biggest cost in swine production.
So every ingredient must create value.
Unlike generic additives that only claim “better growth,” Chitosan Oligosaccharide gives buyers multiple advantages:
- Water-soluble for easier feed integration
- Suitable for premix systems
- Lower inclusion flexibility
- Functional biological activity
- Better premium feed positioning
- Supports gut-health-focused formulas
- Useful across piglets, growers, finishers, and sows

Why Pig Producers Use Chitosan Feed Additives
1. Better Feed Conversion Ratio = Better Margin
Feed cost controls profit.
Even small FCR gains can improve returns significantly across commercial herd sizes.
COS is used in feed programs targeting:
- Better nutrient efficiency
- Reduced feed waste
- Stronger profitability
- Lower cost per kg gain

2. Better Piglet Gut Health After Weaning
Weaning is one of the highest-risk stages in swine production.
Piglets often experience:
- Low intake
- Loose stool risk
- Stress response
- Slow early growth
COS is used in piglet nutrition systems focused on:
- Better transition feeding
- Digestive balance
- Stronger early starts
- Improved intake confidence
3. Natural Alternative to Antibiotic Growth Promoters
The global market is shifting.
Buyers increasingly want:
- Cleaner feed programs
- Reduced antibiotic dependency
- Export-ready ingredient strategies
- Premium livestock production standards
COS aligns with those goals.

4. Supports Immunity During Stress
Transport, regrouping, heat stress, environmental changes, and feed transitions can all reduce pig performance.
COS is commonly used in resilience-focused feed systems.
5. More Consistent Growth Performance
Uniform pigs are easier to manage and market.
COS is selected in systems targeting:
- More even growth
- Better herd consistency
- Improved finishing performance
- Reduced underperformers
