AllBite™ is a molasses-based block designed to discourage vice behaviors, such as tail biting, in pigs.
Its unique design and its delivery system attract pigs and encourage them to chew on the block.
Timely use of AllBite™ blocks can round out a sound animal welfare program.
Why an AllBite™ block?
The AllBite™ block changes pig behavior by adding a new stimulus to the environment. AllBite™ allows pigs to exhibit foraging behaviors and to bite and chew on the block instead of on their pen-mates. Furthermore, the AllBite™ formulation provides a nutritional solution that includes functional ingredients known to calm pigs by enhancing their serotonin receptors. AllBite™ is an economical option for those looking to positively impact the welfare of their animals.

What are the causes of tail-biting in pigs?
