ManagementArticleWhat is the best age for weaning piglets? (1/3)
With this article we begin the publication of a series of three unpublished articles by José Barceló for pig333.com on the age at weaning. José gave us the articles a few days before his death. As a way of paying homage to him we have decided to publish them posthumously without any alterations.
The effect of weaner diet protein content and diet quality on the long-term performance of pigs to slaughter
High quality diets may preserve piglet intestinal health just after weaning. However, lower quality diets may be offered in piglets weaned up to 28 d
Response of piglets weaned from sows fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to an Escherichia coli K88+ oral challenge
The use of sow dietary CLA supplementation through late gestation and lactation may improve piglet immunity and health status after weaning
Raw potato starch in weaned pig diets and its influence on postweaning scouts and the molecular microbial ecology of the digestive tract
The use of raw potato starch in weanling diets may reduce the negative effects of postweaning diarrhoea
Swine dysentery eradication – choosing the right drug, dose and duration
There are several decisions to make before attempting an eradication programme. Firstly, which antibiotic should we use? If we have had the disease on the farm for some time, the Brachyspira will have been exposed to possibly a number of drugs and may have reduced susceptibility to some of them.
Whey Products in piglet diets
A large body of research data exists on the response of pigs to whey. Good quality whey protein contains all the protective components of milk protein.
Pea protein as a substitute of soya bean protein in diets for young pigs: effects on productivity and digestive traits
Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM
Biosecurity II. Biosecurity measures based on the epidemiology of individual infections
Pathogens which are highly infectious and only require small doses to establish infection in susceptible pigs and/or those which are able to survive environmentally for relatively long periods can be spread from farm to farm as fomites
Clinical signs and autopsy findings: can porcine circovirus be diagnosed on the farm?
The autopsy is always an important diagnostic element for the majority of diseases, and this is the same for porcine circovirosis.
PROMOTE PR 70 – Replacement for animal plasma
EW Nutrition is pleased to announce the release of PROMOTE PR70, a complete replacement for animal plasma for all types of piglet diets.
Effects of dietary protein supply, weaning age and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection on newly weaned pigs: performance
Increasing weaning age and decreasing dietary protein level may help to minimise the effects of post-weaning colibacillocis on performance
Utilization of organic acids and phytase in diets for weaned piglets
Phytase supplementation combined with organic acids may reduce piglet diarrhoea at weaning
The effect of feeding system at weaning on performance, health and feeding behaviour of pigs of different sizes
Feeding space availability at weaning may affect feed conversion ratio and diarrhoea scorings in piglets
Diseases in Europe (1 of 2)
Overall, the disease situation in Europe is very similar although there are some countries that have a problem with certain diseases that others do not have
Use of hydrolyzed proteins of intestinal mucosa membrane, yeast and isolated soybean protein in diets with dried whole milk to weanling pigs
Hydrolyzed proteins of intestinal mucosa, yeast and isolated soybean protein may be taken into account as alternative protein sources for piglet diets
