The concept of precision feeding and the goal of improving the efficiency of essential nutrient utilization is considered an innovative technique in swine research in recent years.

What causes can lead to increased feed conversion ratio and mortality with worsened average daily gain?

This new feeding strategy aims to distribute an optimal ration at the right time to the right animal.

The similarity between the pre- and post-weaning diet composition may be more important for post-weaning performance than the absolute intake level of solid feed pre-weaning.

Against a background of rising commodity prices, European pig farmers are reducing their production, which will lead to a decrease in supply on the hog market in 2023 and to prices remaining at high levels.

What can produce an increase in the feed conversion ratio and worsen average daily gain without altering mortality?

In this article, we focus on the key management aspects for the optimal performance of sows with these genetics. To do so, we talked to Pablo Magallón, Technical Service veterinarian with PIC South Europe.

What can cause an increase in the feed conversion ratio of pigs without altering mortality or average daily gain?

Many factors influence sow longevity and survival. So how important is targeted feed management to a longer life of performance?

A simple management strategy can have an impact on the piglet’s most challenging time in life: the weaning period.

Everything you need to know to successfully wean your piglets.
