The secret is intestinal care

摘要

Farms suffering with PMWS and other diseases can pay heavily for a hiccup in the weaning process... The secret of a successful weaning is a smooth transition from mother's milk to solid feed and water, whilst optimising factors such as temperatures and hygiene and minimising stress. Minimising stress includes minimising nutritional stress and this can be achieved by ensuring the food offered to weaned piglets is suitable for maintaining and continuing the development of the digestive system. It hasalways been priority for piglet feed manufacturers to source raw materials that are very digestible, in order to minimise digestive upsets and to promote general gut health. However A-One Feeds have focused on intestinal care - the feeding of specific nutrient that are absorbed directly by the cells in the lining of the piglets gut in order to ensure adequate development.
