Grain Protection for Swine | Gravista® from Central Life Sciences
Protect hog feed and
your bottom line.
No one in the swine industry wants to think about bugs in grain. But anyone, anywhere can get them. Insects do serious damage to stored grain quality, impacting the feed your animals depend on for optimal health and performance. It may sound like a harsh reality. But it's actually an opportunity.
What is a Grain Protection Protocol?

Grain Protection Protocol
28% LOSS

Insect infestations can eat away at up to 28% of available starch in corn during storage, reducing feed performance dramatically.*

"Our Grain Protection Protocol starts at the mill, and its residual effects carry through the feed system to maintain consistent feed quality and delivery for optimal animal health and performance. It also saves us from the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of treating infestations reactively."

The cost of doing nothing
Reactive costs more.
Every time.

The decision isn't whether to spend money on grain protection. It's whether you spend it on your terms or on someone else's timeline.

WITH a Grain Protection Protocol
WITHOUT a Protocol
Feed quality
✓ Consistent quality from mill to animal intake. Residual protection holds through the full feed system.
Feed quality
✕ Silent degradation throughout the feed system. By the time it's visible, quality is already compromised.
Animal health + performance
✓ Clean, consistent, in-condition feed every time. That's the standard your animals need for optimal health and performance.
Animal health + performance
✕ Insects rob feed of its nutrition. Plus, animals eat less when their feed is infested, leading to poor health and lower productivity.
Operational control
✓ When feed is clean, feeders and barns stay clean. Animals are fed at the same time each day, so their routines stay consistent.
Operational control
✕ Handling an infestation requires a complete, manual clean-out of feeders — delaying feeding and disrupting routines.
Team workload
✓ Application is handled at the mill. No disruption, no emergency mobilization.
Team workload
✕ Scramble mode. Emergency treatment disrupts operations and adds hours of cleaning on top of a typical day's labor.
This isn't a pest control purchase.
It's a grain- and feed-quality decision.

It's time to think differently about grain protection — not as a reaction to a problem, but as a standard operating protocol that protects the value of everything you're handling from the moment it comes in the door.

Be prepared with a
Grain Protection Protocol.

A proactive Grain Protection Protocol built on trusted, effective products is the key to defending what you store — and feed to maximize your profitability. The best part? Implementing one can be easy.

Grain Protection Protocol
Pre-Harvest
Reduce Risk + Start Clean

Reduce risk early by cleaning out bins, floors, augers and all contact surfaces.

Harvest
Protect at Load-in + Lock in Value

Apply on-grain protection during load-in to lock in value and ensure full coverage across all grain entering storage.

Storage
Store With Confidence + Preserve Quality

Monitor grain condition over time to preserve grain quality, consistency and volume.

Load-Out + Delivery
Maximize Return + Cash In

Grain arrives clean and market-ready, helping you reduce discounts, damage and rejected loads.
