IN-FORCE S - Strength starts within
A successful nursery period starts with a resilient gut
The nursery period places several demands on piglets at the same time. Weaning brings a sudden diet change alongside mixing, environmental stress, microbial pressure and an immature digestive system. Together, these factors can disturb the normal balance of the gut at a particularly sensitive stage of development.
When digestive balance is disrupted, gut integrity and nutrient utilisation can also be affected. This can make it harder for piglets to maintain feed intake and adapt smoothly to the nursery feeding programme.
The consequences can quickly affect nursery performance:
- Reduced feed intake during the transition
- Slower and less consistent growth
- Lower feed efficiency
- Greater digestive pressure and risk of setbacks
- More difficult nursery management
Digestive support for productive nursery periods
IN-FORCE S supports digestive robustness when nursery pressure is highest.
- Supports digestive robustness: Formulated to support normal digestive function during periods of nutritional and environmental pressure.
- Supports nursery performance: Helps piglets maintain productive performance through demanding nursery periods.
- Easy to integrate into feeding programmes: Free-flowing powder for straightforward incorporation into feed, premixes or concentrates.
Why this combination?
The formulation brings together insect-derived lipids and selected botanical components, each contributing to the overall nutritional concept. Combined with practical delivery technology, IN-FORCE S provides a targeted approach to digestive support during the nursery phase.
Performance observed under trial conditions
In a Danish nursery trial, piglets receiving IN-FORCE S were compared with a control group throughout the study period. The trial evaluated growth performance and feed efficiency during the nursery phase.
| Performance Indicator | Control | In-Force S | Difference |
| Initial body weight | 5.93 kg | 5.93 kg | - |
| Final body weight | 21.42 kg | 22.04 kg | +0.62 kg |
| Average daily gain (0–42 days) | 366 g/day | 382 g/day | +16 g/day |
| Feed conversion ratio (FCR) | 1.49 | 1.44 | 3.4% better |
A large-scale commercial field comparison involving 44,821 piglets evaluated 20,674 piglets receiving IN-FORCE S against 24,147 receiving monolaurin. Piglets receiving IN-FORCE S achieved higher average daily gain and final body weight. The comparison also showed lower subsequent veterinary treatment costs, particularly for digestive problems, without antibiotics in the feed.
| Performance Indicator | Control | In-Force S | Difference |
| Initial body weight | 5.8 kg | 5.5 kg | - |
| Average daily feed intake |
527 g/day |
564 g/day | +37 g/day |
| Average daily gain (0–42 days) | 341 g/day | 365 g/day | +24 g/day |
| Final body weight | 23.5 kg | 25.1 kg | +1.6 kg better |
Together, the results demonstrate the potential of In-Force S as a practical nutritional tool within nursery feeding programmes.
Award-winning innovation in piglet nutrition
IN-FORCE S combines a novel insect-lipid-based nutritional concept with a practical, free-flowing delivery technology developed specifically for nursery feeding programmes. The concept was awarded a Silver Medal at the EuroTier 2026 Innovation Awards.
