Alternatives to zinc oxide for more potent piglets

2017-08-23 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

The nutritional and environmental experiences by weaning piglets contribute to gastro-intestinal and immune system disturbances. These can result in an increased susceptibility to gut disorders and, in some instances, to diarrhea, morbidity and even death. In particular, during the first week after weaning, often a reduced feed intake is seen due to a rise in blood cortisol levels as consequence of the different stressors the piglets are exposed to. This impairs growth performance and can lead to higher mortality rates, causing significant economic losses for the pig producer.
