How moisture control
helps reduce pathogen pressure
Too much moisture in the barn creates the perfect spot for bacteria. That means more risk of disease and stress for your pigs.
MS DryCare helps keep things dry and healthy in four key ways:
- Drier bedding keeps pens clean and reduces skin issues and infections.
- Better hygiene limits wet spots from diarrhea and lowers bacterial pressure.
- Faster drying helps newborn piglets keep their body heat.
- A mild scent masks piglet smell and helps reduce fighting in new groups.
