Making Weaners Eat 14 Apr 2008
Not an easy task, sometimes even impossible.
Pigs weaned without substantial pre-weaning feeding experience are almost
invariably suffering from depressed feed intake post-weaning. And, this is a
problem. The less weaned pigs eat the first week post-weaning, the less
efficient they are throughout the growing finishing period. Plus, or rather
minus (!), their health is in great danger during this transition period when
stomachs remain empty. So, what can be done? Here's a short list that may be of
some help. Not all recommendations work simultaneously in all farms, but at
least one of them should be working in most cases.
