McNess FURST STEP utilizes exclusive technology for the newborn pig still in the crate, and is used starting four days pre-weaning.  FURST STEP familiarizes the piglet with the smell and texture of hard feed, thereby facilitating easier transition to feed post-weaning. Besides its unique palatability technology to support post-weaning feed intake, Furst Step is designed to provide the pig with high levels of beneficial pro-biotic bacteria that have been shown in research to competitively exclude opportunistic pathogens that may challenge the pig post-weaning.  

Furst-McNess FURST STEP is NOT A COMPLETE FEED and should not be considered a sole ration.
