The sooner piglets start to eat, the sooner their gut will develop. Extruded feeds are cooked at a higher temperature which changes the smell and flavour, and increases the shelf life of the feed.
The taste and smell of Blueprint® Extruded Creep feed draws suckling piglets to eat dry feed in that critical period of one-to-two weeks of weaning. The process of heating for extrusion changes the smell, texture and taste of feeds made with fats and oils, which aids getting piglets to become eaters very quickly. Extrusion breaks down the structure of starch and protein, improves the utilization of oil in digestion, improves solubility and digestibility of fibre, and reduces digestive tract stress resulting in few scours.
