FerAppease can help your show pigs maintain their composure and unleash their full potential.

  • Supports better acclimation
  • Reduces stress related behaviors
  • Improves transportation outcomes

Epinephrine & Cortisol

The stress hormone epinephrine accelerates gastrointestinal movement, causing nutrients to exit the body before full digestion. Meanwhile, the stress hormone cortisol induces insulin resistance and triggers catabolism, breaking down fat and muscle tissue to fuel the body under stress.

Survival Mode

Stressed pigs enter survival mode, prioritizing resource allocation for fight-or-flight responses against perceived threats. This metabolic state is highly energy inefficient. You can overcome this obstacle with FerAppease mSAS.

FerAppease mSAS

The active ingredient of FerAppease is a synthetic analogue of the Maternal Swine Appeasing Substance (mSAS). mSAS is a naturally occurring substance that is secreted by the skin of the mammary gland of lactating sows, eliminating stress in all swine treated.

Grand Champion Junior Showman

Moffat County Fair 2025

"We use FerAppease and sell it through our feed business. My son got Grand Champion Junior Showman and Grand Champion Breeding swine with this gal. We use FerAppease on all of our show pigs to decrease stress prior to shots, trailering them, when they’re sick, if they go off feed, etc. Last year we had a gilt that had major anxiety and didn’t even want to drive at home. We started applying FerAppease daily prior to working her and she overcame her issues and was successfully shown at county fair and ended up 2nd in her class!"

4th Overall Chester White Gilt

Indiana State Fair 2025

"Chesters have always been stubborn. We started our pig project 13 years ago and for the past few years we’ve shown them how FerAppease helped tone down Chesters temper and attitude in the ring."

Winning Starts Where Stress Ends

"We use the FerAppease swine on our show pig projects from the day we receive them. Our family will travel back east and get pigs from multiple different pig farms and bring them back to our barn. We will apply FerAppease to each pig as they are put on the trailer to ease the stress, calm the pig, and reduce the urge to fight each other. We also use it when we get home to help break pigs to drive, before travel to state and national shows, as well as area jackpots, and help calm the higher energy pigs."

Show Day Staple

Arkansas Youth Expo 2025

"We started using FerAppease during summer show season after struggling to get two of our pigs, a Poland barrow and a Duroc gilt to the ring. Once we found the version made for pigs, it became a show day staple.

We’d apply it the morning of the show (about two hours before) and again in the fitting pen. It helped keep them calmer and easier to manage. With our Duroc, the calming effect was sometimes almost instant. We also used it on another anxious gilt who would pace consistently and she would stop pacing.

This product works, and we won’t go to a show without it now!"
