This time we highlight the Good Practice “Loose Lactation & Piglet Commingling”, from the topic Ban of Cages.

In this video, Jason McGrath, farmer and co-owner of Ashleigh Farms in Ireland, explains how their good practice involves the use of 6.5 m² lactation pens with farrowing crates that are opened between day 4 and day 7, allowing sows more freedom of movement. Piglets are allowed to co-mingle from 20 days of age and are weaned at 28 days.
This approach supports piglet socialization and reduces stress at weaning. Watch the full videopill now!

What are Dosatron D25AL pumps from the D25+care series?

Dosatron D25+care pumps are the new high-value Dosatron Standard in Animal Health applications, for flow rates from 10 l/h to 2.5 m3/h. They are certified for food contact and contribute to improving animal and human health.

Stronger pigs, fewer post-weaning losses

New research confirms that genetic resistance to E. coli F18 can protect piglets against today’s highly virulent strains. In a controlled challenge, susceptible pigs showed more severe diarrhoea and higher mortality, while resistant pigs showed no mortality and no intestinal colonisation—highlighting genetics as a practical tool as reliance on antibiotics and zinc oxide declines.
