Effect of in-water iodine supplementation on weight gain, diarrhea and oral and dental health of nursery pigs

Adding an aqueous iodine supplement to nursery pigs, therefore, did not provide an advantage for either growth or oral condition. Deleterious oral conditions do increase after weaning, with gingivitis being associated with lower piglet weight.

Abstract

Learning how to eat like a pig: Facilitating vertical information transfer to reduce weaning problems in piglets

The aim of this thesis was to explore whether providing piglets with more opportunities to learn from their mother about what, how and where to eat increases food intake before and after weaning and consequently can reduce health and welfare problems after weaning.
