Introduction

Tail-biting and other forms of aggressive behavior in swine may lead to growth reduction, lameness, paralysis, death, or carcass condemnations. A quick response is key to preventing such aggressive behavior, which is a universal concern for animal caretakers across the world. For such swine farmers trying to control tail-biting in pigs, ‘CALMATROPE’ can be a reliable solution. ‘CALMATROPE’ is a phytogenic calming supplement for pigs that contains a novel combination of synergic polyherbal formulations, serotonin precursors, muscle relaxants, and antioxidants. It is recommended for quick intervention in cases of abnormal aggressive behaviour to induce a calming effect in domestic pigs. Reduces aggression and stress in pigs, which helps to prevent changes in muscle chemistry and improves meat quality.
