The aim of the experiment was to study the effect on litter performance of two oral supplementation strategies on piglets born weighing 1.35 kg or less.
Relationship between biosecurity level and antimicrobial use in the pig industry
Biosecurity is a useful measure to promote the reduction of antimicrobial use in the pig industry.
