25-Jan-2021giancarlo-belluzziI like your Biosecurity scheme. However, I think two things/aspects should be important: education and training of the breeder/farmer and a robust trust in the veterinary consultant based on actions taken (and its results obtained) and not teorethical words. Thanks

The pre-farrowing feed intake pattern can improve litter performance at weaning

How does a sow's feed intake in the days prior to farrowing influence piglet birth and weaning weights?

Thank you very much for your comment.
In this trial we used 34 sows in batch 1 (9 primiparous and 23 multiparous) and 35 sows in batch 2 (4 primiparous and 31 multiparous).
Regards

Do you know how to interpret your farm's retention rate?

Does a high retention rate indicate high productivity?

Do we fully understand gilts? Do we treat them as they deserve?

Gilts have more returns to estrus... but why?

Piglets weaned per sow lifetime, the hidden index

One of the indices that is generating much interest is the one referred to the number of weaned piglets per sow lifetime (WSL). This index refers to the total number of piglets that a sow has weaned throughout its productive life.

01-Mar-2019tomi-olatundevery accurate write-up. Can't be clearer. Production figures can be deceitful sometimes. It is practically the output per housed gilt/sow which practically measures the farm output in piglets actually sold, Return on investment of each housed gilt/sow. There is more to this, like piglet birth weight, weight at 21 days, weight at 25 days, investment in piglet( time & money) till these ages, actual age @ 25 kg live weight of piglet.

ManagementArticle

Are all non-viable piglets, really not viable?

There are casualties in the farrowing unit due to poor colostrum intake but, how many are there really? Are they just being classified as non-viable piglets?
