Chretien Gielen

This concludes our series of three articles with explanations from Alberto Garcia and Chretien Gielen about the measures to consider to reduce post-weaning diarrhea without the use of zinc oxide. We couldn't end without looking at key aspects such as the environment, water, and use of biologics.

The ban on the use of zinc oxide starting June 2022 makes it necessary to review and improve many aspects of weaning, especially in its early stages. With Alberto García and Chretien Gielen we address key management points for successful weaning without the use of zinc oxide.

We spoke with Alberto Garcia (Inga Food SA, Spain) and Chretien Gielen (De Varkenspraktijk, The Netherlands), to discuss aspects related to weaning management and conditions.
