70% of a mammal’s immune function resides in the gut1. The stronger a pig’s gut, the more resilient it will be in the face of pathogenic and environmental challenges.

Patented, proven Arm & Hammer gut health solutions can help build up herd resilience for less disease occurrence, lower disease severity and a faster recovery.


Rely on Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition’s comprehensive gut health portfolio:

CERTILLUS 
Protect from pathogens and optimize performance 

  • A custom probiotic solution, using targeted Bacillus strains (from an extensive library of over 80,000 strains) specific to each swine operation, to foster an environment unfavorable to E. Coli and other pathogens
  • Strengthens the gut to bolster immunity and optimize performance

ARM & HAMMER SWINE ECO
Enhance manure value and feed efficiency

  • Unique probiotics that change manure microbiology to help reduce odor and greenhouse gases, improve fertilizer value and make cleaning easier
  • Improves feed efficiency2

CELMANAX
Prep the immune system and boost productivity

  • Yeast extract with Refined Functional Carbohydrates™ (RFCs) designed to control pathogens and build resilience by preparing the immune system for challenges
  • Contributes to improved sow productivity and piglet growth

BG-MAX
Prevent mycotoxin damage and protect the gut

  • Yeast based product with selected RFCs plus highly-refined bentonite to prevent mycotoxins from translocation
  • Decreased mycotoxin translocation for enhanced immune function, secondary pathogen control and performance

Use these additives together for broad-spectrum, synergistic coverage.
