incorrect answer
The correct answer is no. 2. After weaning, very small amounts of feed disappear during the early visits, but these are often followed by a period of feed refusal. In nearly half the animals, substantial feed intake is not initiated until the following day. Only after ‘experiencing’ that this new food does not make them sick, they will come back and consume more of the novel food. Creep feed can help to train the piglets to eat solid feed before their weaning and thus facilitate their transition
