Effect of feeding different levels of sugar beet pulp on weaning piglets
Proper amounts of sugar beet pulp in weanling diets may improve post-weaning performance.
Iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
Consumption of nursery starter feeds containing high concentrations of ZnO is associated with post-weaning anemia.
Changes in morphology of small intestine of piglets after weaning that can trigger diarrhoea
Weaning triggers a series of changes leading to the decrease of feed intake and the deterioration of the intestinal architecture which finally results in infection, diarrhoea and low performance.
Post-weaning E. coli immunity
In practice, and to have active-acquired antibodies ready at weaning, piglets should be immunised 10 days to 2 weeks before weaning.
Requirement of standardized ileal digestible valine to lysine ratio for 8- to 14-kg pigs
In conclusion, 0.70 SID Val : Lys is suggested as the Val requirement for 8 to 14 kg individually housed pigs.
Aspects of gastrointestinal tract immunity around weaning
The rate and sequence of mucosal immune maturity from birth to an ‘adult-type’ pig is an important determinant of subsequent performance, health and survival, and hence impacts on the efficiency and profitability of pork production.
Elimination of porcine respiratory coronavirus by early weaning and segregation
This study demonstrates a method by which PRCV-negative animals may be attained for the purposes of export to countries requiring PRCV-negative status.
Nutritional strategies to prevent post-weaning E. coli enterotoxaemia
The aim of the main nutritional strategies is to ensure a beneficial effect on the digestive flora of piglets and their intestinal health after weaning, thus reducing the risk of colibacillosis.
Effect of different dietary energy levels in reared gilts until the first parity
The use of different dietary energy levels during gilt rearing affects the level of body reserves but not productive and reproductive performance.
Early piglet weaning in their own farrowing pen
Build a fence to keep the weaned piglets in a farrowing pen.
Relationships among pigs weaned, preweaning survival and weaning weight with the number of piglets after cross fostering
Although piglet birth weight is the most influential factor affecting piglet survival other behavioral factors such as vitality and vigor of piglets at birth contribute to the overall likelihood of the offspring surviving.
