A user-friendly, gut health supplement that helps pigs from the beginning even when intake is limited, has been voted the winner of National Hog Farmer’s 2022 New Product Tour. By-O-reg+ PS Concentrate from Advanced Ag Products LLC captured the most votes to take home the Producer’s Choice Award today from World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa.

After new rules and regulations, Advanced Ag Products LLC took their granular high quality ingredient feed product, By-O-reg+ (National Hog Farmer’s New Product 2016 winner) and adapted it to a form that is water-soluble and able to go through a medicator for the pork industry. By-O-reg+ PS Concentrate uses high-quality ingredients as well as their CF20 coating technology, which is not only all natural but protects essential oils, allowing for a targeted release in the small intestine.

"By-O-reg+ PS Concentrate works to combat health challenges, promote animal performance and minimize stress during different phases of the production cycle," said Advanced Ag Products Director of Marketing Michelle Caldwell. "The product aids in maximizing pig flow, minimizing feed cost and reducing nonproductive days, all while assisting in the creation of a healthier, heavier, more efficient animal."

The New Product Tour was presented during the Global Hog Industry Virtual Conference on May 25. A panel of pork industry experts reviewed products, keeping in mind how each would benefit producers and the industry. Respective company representatives then presented a two-minute video or sales pitch to the panel of judges, after which the judges asked questions about the product in the style of TV's "Shark Tank."

Online voting for Producers Choice took place on the National Hog Farmer site, as well as at the National Hog Farmer Booth at the 2022 World Pork Expo in Des Moines.
