An optimal start leads to optimal results

Supplementary feeding of piglets from day 2 after birth is about more than simply placing a feeding bowl in the pen or starting up an automatic milk system. The best results are achieved through the right farrowing house management, a clear feeding strategy, and the Pigipro product that best suits the needs of the piglets.

Sow’s milk will always remain the most important source of energy and nutrients. Pigipro has a supporting role, but it can be exactly the extra support needed to achieve top results.

The first days after birth are crucial. Weight differences that occur during the first week are difficult to correct later and can have a major impact on weaning weights. Early supplementary feeding from day 2 helps support piglets and contributes to a more uniform litter during the first 10 days of life.

As a follow-up milk, Pigipro Wean helps prepare piglets for weaning. Alongside Pigipro, it is also important to introduce a prestarter or weaning feed in time. When piglets take in liquid Pigipro through a bowl or cup system, this can also stimulate dry feed intake during the suckling period.

A higher dry feed intake before weaning supports a smoother transition and gives piglets a better start in the rearing phase.
