Piglet care

The use of milk replacers is helpful, both to increase the number of weaned piglets and to simplify the management of nurse sows.

Bearing welfare in mind, which should be the size of the group of animals housed in a pen?

The objective of supplementing piglets with creep feeds is to reduce the number of under-developed animals during the first days after weaning and, albeit with some differences, it is beneficial for both 21-day and 28-day lactations.

Nothing has more impact on piglet survival that an adequate intake of colostrum.

Differentiating fostered younger piglets from old ones allows proper management.
