Why choose Start Right feeds?

Start Right balanced nutrition helps pigs get off to a healthy start. All of our Start Right pellets are medicated with Mecadox. Over the years, the Mecadox medicated feed additive has proven to be a cost-effective management tool for improving pig performance in a wide range of health and management situations. Numerous studies have documented that Mecadox use improves rate and efficiency of pig growth regardless of health status, genetic capacity for lean growth, animal density, facility type or pig management practices.

Improve pig performance, even in limited space conditions. When animal flow schedules get pressured or during the last weeks in the nursery, pig space can be limited. Mecadox helps maintain pig performance in these situations.
