Extract

An investigation was carried out to study feed intakes between 3 and 7 weeks of age for 3 week weaned piglets weaned into flat deck accommodation. Research has concentrated on the dietary requirements of early weaned piglets. Little information is available on the daily feed intake and liveweight gain of young piglets, on commercial units, over the initial post-weaning period.
