GRUNTA Pig Blend — A high protein milk powder supplement made from blended dairy powders. Designed to be used in dry form — pour or sprinkle over existing feed for a measurable boost in growth and palatability. No liquid mixing required.
Milligans MMR — Suitable for orphaned or supplementary-fed piglets requiring a liquid milk feed. Available in 2kg, 5kg, 10kg and 20kg.
Feeding
GRUNTA: Pour or sprinkle over food waste, compound feed or mix into a slurry. The dairy protein boosts palatability and growth performance across existing feeding systems. GRUNTA is a supplement to existing feed — not a standalone diet.
Milligans MMR for liquid feeding: Colostrum from the sow in the first 24 hours is essential — manage teat access carefully in large litters to ensure every piglet gets a feed.
Mix at 38–40°C. Feed frequently — newborn piglets naturally feed every 1–2 hours.

| Priority | Tip |
|---|---|
| 1 | Warmth is as important as nutrition. Piglets cannot regulate body temperature. A heat pad or warm bedding is essential — cold is a major cause of piglet mortality regardless of nutrition. |
| 2 | Manage teat access in large litters. Smaller piglets get pushed out. Check that lighter animals are getting adequate access to the sow and supplement where needed. |
| 3 | Feed orphan piglets frequently. Small volumes multiple times a day mimics natural nursing. As they develop, frequency can be gradually reduced. |
| 4 | GRUNTA works alongside existing feed — not instead of it. Use it to boost growth and palatability on top of your normal programme. |
| 5 | Watch for competition. In group feeding situations, monitor that all animals are getting access to feed and none are being bullied away from the trough. |
