Good advice on how to use Pig Start for optimal piglet survival
Pig Start: Optimal nutrition for piglets
Ensuring a strong start for piglets is crucial to reducing mortality and optimizing growth. Pig Start is designed to give piglets a quick energy boost, support their immune system and increase their ability to absorb colostrum from the sow. Here is a guide on when and how to best use Pig Start in your herd.
When should I use Pig Start?
Pig Start has been shown to give particularly good results in the following situations:
- Large litters – When there are many newborn piglets and competition for the sow's milk is high.
- High piglet mortality – Herds struggling with high mortality have experienced improved survival rates with Pig Start.
- Newly established herds – Helps establish a stable start in new herds.
- PRRS-challenged herds – Strengthens weak pigs that may be extra vulnerable to disease.
- Efficient farrowing routine – If you already have a piglet care system in place, Pig Start can further optimize results.
- Low weaning weight – Pig Start can help increase weight at weaning, resulting in stronger and more robust pigs.
How do I find the right routine?
To get the most out of Pig Start, the product must be administered correctly. Here are some suggested routines that can be adapted to your herd:
Suggestion 1: Early energy for the weakest piglets
3 ml Pig Start immediately after birth for the smallest and weakest piglets.
3 ml later the same day.
3 ml the following day to ensure continued energy and development.
Proposal 2: Support for starving pigs during litter leveling
3 ml Pig Start for the smallest and weakest during split milking.
3 ml for hungry pigs when leveling the litter.
