What it does
The first isotonic protein drink for pigs.
With a taste profile pigs crave, Px provides the hydration and intestinal support needed for a healthy start.
Decreased pre-weaning mortality: Improves baby pig health and productivity, leading to fewer deaths and removals
Increased weaning weight: Ensures pigs transition faster and easier, resulting in added weight gain post weaning
Improved return on investment: Enables producers to get more pigs off to a healthy start
Improved gut health: Decreases gut pH and supports proper metabolic function of intestinal cells
Increased hydration: Provides early hydration and nutrients pigs need to thrive starting on Day 2
Coping with stress: Supports gut health and aids in feed transitions even during times of stress, including scouring
When to use Px
Tonisity Px is a powder that mixes easily with water and remains in suspension when used in a creep feeder or a pan. It fits into all types of management systems.
- Suckling: Starting 24 hours after birth until 8 days of age
- Transition through weaning: Approximately 3 days before weaning until 1-2 days post-weaning
- Transporting: Weaning pigs on arrival and pigs destined for slaughter
- Palatability aid: To deliver bitter oral preparations
Highly Palatable
Another key to Tonisity Pxís success is its sweet and sour taste, which is especially appealing to pigs. On-farm research shows that baby pigs enthusiastically consume Tonisity Px solution as early as Day 2. Additionally, pigs of all ages eagerly drink Px.

Day 2 - 8
Tonisity Px is the only product on the market that pigs will drink from a pan on Day 2 of life.
Dosage: 500 mL / litter / day
Mixing Instructions: Use the enclosed Tonisity International scoop two measure two level scoops per 10L of water.
Improved Return on Investment
Day 8: Studies showed that piglets given liquid Px starting at day 2 weighed 160 g more at day 8 than those not receiving Px.
Weaning
Px is a highly palatable liquid that can be mixed to make a gruel during the transition phase to dry feed.
500 mL / litter / day
200 g Px gruel / pig / day
To make Px gruel, mix 1.5 L of 3% Px solution with 1 kg dry feed.
Day 35: Studies showed that piglets given liquid Px starting at day 2 weighed840 g more at day 35 than those not receiving Px. [Trials done on-farm in Iowa, USA (TON-USA-034)].
Day 94: Studies showed that piglets given liquid Px in farrowing and Px-gruel at weaning weighed 4.72 kg more that those not receiving Px. [Trials done on-farm in Northern Ireland (TON-UK-30)].
Reduce mortality
Test results show decreased pre-weaning mortality rates in pigs that were given Px in the first week of life. [Trials done on-farm in Iowa, USA (TON-USA-034)].
Gut health
Piglets with scours may become dehydrated. Study results show that mortality and fall-behinds are lower in piglets that are given Px. Px is an isotonic solution containing amino acids, proteins and balanced electrolytes that promote improved gut health. Px may be used for rehydration and support in such situation.
