The Spanish company Produmix, a renowned specialist in piglet nutrition, organized last November 18th in Taichung (Taiwan) an interesting conference on swine health and nutrition, in cooperation with its area distributor. With an important representation of veterinaries, big producers of the area and sub-distributors from several provinces, the conference dealt with several topics on the nutrition and the digestive system in piglets, without forgetting a special mention to the new trends and investigations related to the nutrition and health of early ages in pigs.
One of the key and most outstanding interesting parts for the people was the lecture on the problematic caused by the lack of homogeneity of animals during the post-weaning period. Given the concern this is generating in pig production today, a specific chapter was reserved mentioning the extra costs this problem can generate for the grower. Also and above all, different lines of action were given, that can be carried out to reduce the impact of the great variability in piglet weights that today exists in farms. In this section, Produmix also showed and analyzed, together with the participants, the numerous data obtained from continuous trials carried out in farms, proving that Produmix basemixes actively contribute to the homogeneity of piglet litters.
