In the past few years, scour in suckling piglets has emerged as one of the most common problems in pig farms. It occurs mainly before day 5 and between days 7 and 14. It is usually not severe and, if the management of the farm is good, the number of affected piglets will be limited. Yet, sometimes severe outbreaks affect all the animals and mortality can rise to even to 100%.
Diarrhea is responsible for economic losses due to mortality, morbidity, decreased growth rate, cost of medication and manpower expenses.
Experience and statistics show that the occurrence of scour during the lactation period affects not only performance at weaning but also downstream until slaughter, as demonstrated by the data presented below.
To sum up, if one pig does not reach the target weight at weaning, there is no way to compensate for this loss during later stages.
PlusVet has designed an integral strategy to help reaching top weaning weights, by combining two products:
The combined use of these two products may result in an improvement of weaning weight of 1.2-1.5 kg (at day 28th), which will benefit the health and performance of animals down to slaughter, as evidenced by the statistics outlined in this article.
