How can I control digestive disturbance in pigs?
Maintaining good gut microflora and protecting the integrity of the intestinal barrier is key to avoiding digestive disturbance in pigs. Stress is a common cause of digestive disturbance and providing pre-emptive nutritional support at key times of stress to the pig, ie. at weaning, is a good management practice.
What is the average farrowing duration?
Farrowing on average takes 3-8 hours and is followed by up to 4 hours when placentas are expelled. Piglets are delivered approximately every 15 minutes. Nutritional supplements, such as AdiCare Vita, can help shorten this period, helping to increase the number of born alive piglets as well as reducing the risk of constipation, hypocalcaemia and muscle fatigue.
