A complete and total update in Piglet Care and Management with the most complete and effective training program on the online educational market”

Maternity and weaning are the stages in swine production where a much higher mortality rate than the rest. This causes important economic and time losses. We must add the ethical and social commitment that also pushes us to reduce these percentages. 

Adequate training and knowledge of all the key aspects in the process will be fundamental to improve piglet survival.

A sound understanding of the environmental needs in the nursery can be the key in this stage of production. Some of these factors, such as thermal control or ventilation needs, will be very different for lactating sows than their litter. Finding the balance between the two will be an important management objective to prevent health problems and achieve the best results while also observing animal welfare.

Piglet lactation will be another of the pillars for both survival and future health, as well. The increasingly widespread worldwide use of hyperprolific sow strains makes the management of these large litters more laborious. In many cases, due to the lack of milk or litter heterogeneity, it is necessary to resort to adjustments and the use of wet nurses.

Moreover, this program will address the dietary changes that the piglet will undergo from birth and how they can affect its intestinal health. Weaning will also be a crucial period for piglets, which causes the so-called post-weaning stress, not only due to nutritional change, but social change as well.

Knowing the behavioral ethology of suckling and weaned piglets will help understand many of the welfare measures applied in swine production.
