FerAppease® swine is an affordable, safe & easy-to-use application for piglets & adult pigs. It is applied topically on the nose and forehead.
When breathed in, MSAS works in the brain to reduce stress, leading to low cortisol concentrations. Lower cortisol concentrations and reduced stress, leads to high productivity.

  • FerAppease® Swine
    The active ingredient of FerAppease® Swine is a synthetic analogue of the Maternal Swine Appeasing Substance (MSAS) which is naturally secreted by the sow’s skin to comfort her piglets while nursing....

  • FerAppease® is topically applied and the active ingredient (MSAS) is assimilated by the vomeronasal gland located in the nose of the animals. The MSAS stimulation of the vomeronasal gland desensitizes regions of the amygdala and the hypothalamus, dramatically decreasing threat perception and its downstream stress consequences. Stress comes from processing, weaning, transportation, commingling, and farrowing. Stress leads to high cortisol, high cortisol concentrations lead to: decreased weight gains, decreased feeed efficiency, increased aggressions. With FerAppease® swine, stress is significantly reduced, leading to lower cortisol concetrations.
