BSTIM is a highly useful tool throughout the year, but it is especially beneficial during hotter periods. This is when gilts experience greater heat stress, reducing their appetite and affecting their hormonal production, making heat detection more difficult. In these situations, BSTIM becomes your greatest ally.

BSTIM is a product that uses androstenone and androstenol to influence the reproductive behavior of pigs, facilitating heat detection. However, it is not intended for the treatment or prevention of any disease but rather as a farm management tool. It also does not have a direct pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic action; instead, it works through chemical communication (pheromones), which is a behavioral mechanism rather than an internal biochemical process. Pheromones act via olfactory perception rather than systemic absorption, so their mechanism does not fit the definition of a medicine.

Absolutely. The pheromones used in BSTIM are completely safe. It is a synthetic formulation based on natural compounds present in boar saliva, specifically designed to stimulate the sexual response in female pigs without adverse effects. It contains no animal traces. BSTIM has been developed under strict quality and safety standards, ensuring risk-free use for both animals and the workers applying it. Moreover, its application leaves no residues and does not affect meat quality or animal health.

Each 100ml bottle of BSTIM provides approximately 800 sprays.

BSTIM comes in liquid form, which makes the bottle last much longer while remaining highly effective with a smaller quantity. Other formats are more prone to waste.

Start applying 2 sprays in the morning and 2 in the afternoon when the gilts are between 170 and 175 days old, continuing until signs of heat appear. You will notice the gilt becoming more relaxed. Remember to spray from a distance of about 20-30cm from the snout and clean the nozzle after use.

Generally, you can start applying BSTIM 24 hours after weaning. Spray twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon until heat symptoms appear. Remember to spray from about 20-30cm from the snout and clean the nozzle after use.

BSTIM is a product that replicates the pheromones found in boar saliva, used to stimulate sexual responses in sows. It helps optimizing the pig breeding process, increasing annual sow and gilt productivity and reducing empty days.

Applying BSTIM can stimulate faster heat onset and synchronize estrus in treated groups, which is useful for future breeding cycles.

Using BSTIM supports good hygiene practices, reducing disease transmission. It also helps decrease stress in females and prevents issues such as "summer infertility syndrome."
