This project is being carried out within the collaboration between the Belgorod State Agricultural University named after V. Gorin (BSAU named after V.Gorin) – Russia, GEOCON WEST – Russia and SANBOS GmbH – Germany.
1. Materials and methods
During the 90-day-feeding period 90 fatteneing pigs were assigned to treatments without and with supplementation of Sanbio SANA.
The trial was run without adverse technical events (e.g. power failure, feed/water failures, etc.).

3. Conclusion
To summarize, the present study shows significantly positive effects of Sanbio SANA on productive performance and offal yield.
The positive effects at a glance:
- Safety and tolerance when used dietary additions
- Increase of daily weight gain (+50g/d, +7.1%)
- Reduction of feed intake (4.13kg, -1.76%)
- Improvement of FCR (-0.31, -8.3%)
- Increase of offal yield and quality.
