BIO-K® IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT ALL OF NORTH AMERICA

NEW HAMBURG, ONTARIO - Nachurs Alpine Solutions® (NAS), a division of Wilbur-Ellis, announced today that it is aligning its potassium acetate technology Bio-K® to include the ALPINE brand. This change is to provide a consistent presence across North America as well as international markets. Our technology is patent pending in Canada and patented in the United States.

Those familiar with the ALPINE brand may recognize Bio-K as K-Tech®, which has been a trusted and proven technology in the ALPINE brand lineup for the past few years. ALPINE has launched products such as ALPINE F18 Max™ and ALPINE G241-S® within this specialty fertilizer line. Lab tests and field trials have proven potassium acetate to be an effective and safe source of potassium for crop production. Including Bio-K in a sound, well-balanced fertility program will provide the plant with added energy, which will ultimately lead to increased yield. The existing ALPINE product names will not be changing, just the potassium acetate technology branding. We look forward to introducing even more new Bio-K products in the future throughout Canada and beyond.

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
