Extract

The routine feeding of liquid replacer for sow milk (RSM) to either suckling or early weaned piglets is currently receiving some interest and several products of this type are now available commercially. Advantages claimed from the use of these products include reduced pre-weaning mortality, heavier weaning weights and faster post-weaning growth. An acidified whey-based RSM has been investigated at Newcastle and this report outlines two trials which have been carried out with this product(14% fat, 24% crude protein, pH 52).
