Management to Optimize Productivity of the Weaned Pig
نویسنده
چکیده
Management factors to optimize the productivity of the weaned pig include communicating the proper message to barn staff, sanitation and barn preparation practices, healthy pigs of maximum weight and age entering the barn, and feeding management practices. Clearly, these factors are interrelated and important to optimize nursery productivity.

Controlling E. Coli in the Weaned Pig
Clinical expression of disease associated with post weaning E. coli depends on the interplay of several factors. These include the dose of pathogen, a genetically susceptible pig population, diet composition, weight and age of weaned pig, environmental management, presence of confounding pathogens, and general farm management practices. Reducing the dose of E. coli exposure using sanitation pro...
متن کاملFarrowing hut design and sow genotype (Camborough-15 vs 25% Meishan) effects on outdoor sow and litter productivity.
Performance measures were evaluated for 125 outdoor sows and litters of two crossbred genotypes (Camborough-15 and 25% Meishan) and in two farrowing hut designs (American-style and English-style hut). Contemporary breeding groups of second-parity sows were evaluated in an intensive, outdoor research unit. Sow genotype and hut designs were arranged factorially. Seven complete blocks were evaluat...
متن کاملFew differences found between early- and late-weaned pigs raised in the same environment.
Segregation and medicated early weaning are technologies used to optimize the productivity and health of pigs, but these practices may also cause aberrant behaviors indicative of stress. Thus, differences in early- (=10 d of age) and late- (=30 d of age) weaned pigs were investigated. At weaning, pigs were housed in groups of four in 16 pens (eight pens per treatment) in the same facility, and,...
متن کاملEffects of dietary spray-dried plasma protein on sow productivity during lactation.
Seventy-two primiparous and multiparous sows (36 per dietary treatment) farrowed in 4 groups were used to evaluate the effects of spray-dried plasma protein (SDP) on sow and litter performance during lactation. Dietary lactation treatments consisted of a corn-soybean meal control and a corn-soybean meal diet containing 0.5% SDP. Both diets were formulated to contain 1.0% total Lys and 3.46 Mcal...
متن کاملMeasuring the Efficiency Effect of Banning Anti-Microbial Growth Promoters: The Case of Danish Pig Production
This study examines the effect of banning antimicrobial growth promoters on efficiency in the production of weaned and slaughter (finishing) pigs. We focus on the reaction of producers and production efficiency. We evaluate the estimated output and input shadow prices relative to market prices to analyse producer reactions and capture the impact on production efficiency by evaluating the effect...
