Managing suckling piglets
Systematics in sucking pig management:
| Checklist for a good start | Ok? | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Number of functional teats checked and recorded | |
| 2. | A number of pigs, to leave two fewer piglets than the number of functional teats, are fostered out of a litter | |
| 3. | Pigs are fostered only once and within 24 hours after sufficient colostrum-intake | |
| 4. | Suitable pigs are marked, trained and checked | |
| 5. | Lying behaviour of piglets checked regularly | |
| 6. | Additional nutrition of piglets from d1 onwards after sufficient colostrum intake should be provided |
