Pre-weaning system lowers mortality rate

摘要

Making the most of a valuable asset by maximising the number of piglets born alive and also the number of pigs weaned is becoming increasingly difficult. Competition at the udder often puts weaker pigs under increasing pressure leading to failures atthe first stage. But for a Yorkshire farmer, keen to raise as many pigs as possible, investment in several Nurtinger units has seen a drop in pre-weaning mortality by 5%.
