Colostrum
Feed colostrum and
sow’s milk for the first 4 to 7 days where possible. Feeding 100ml of
colostrum, five times daily, during the first day will improve
substantially the survival rate of piglets raised on milk replacer.

General recommendations
-
The suggested
feeding program should be considered as a minimum. Approximately 2.5kg
milk replacer will be consumed per piglet.
- Quantities offered
should be adjusted to weight, increasing gradually from birth to
weaning.
- Any change in the
feeding schedule should be done with judgement, according to growth,
size and stool consistency.
- Frequent feeding of
small amounts will decrease chances of digestive upsets.
-
When
piglets show signs of diarrhea, or in cases of over-consumption, stop
feeding milk and start offering a high-energy electrolyte solution for
12 to max 24 hours. Once the diarrhea has cleared up, re-introduce the
milk.
- Clean ALL feeding
utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse in lukewarm water, wash
with a detergent in hot (80oC) water, rinse with clean water (ideally a
5-10% bleach solution daily) and dry thoroughly with a ‘clean’ towel.
-
Fresh, clean
water should be available at all time. Position it close to where the
milk is offered.
-
Consult your veterinarian for any
signs of disease, fever, parasites etc……
Supplemental feeding to sow’s milk
-
Supplementary milk can be
introduced to the piglets as soon as 2 to 4 days of age.
-
The milk solution can be offered
via a nipple bottle or an open recipient. Both have to be maintained
clean, particularly the recipient that has been contaminated by urine or
faeces.
-
Milk can be served in an open
recipient or through a mechanically operated milk distribution system.
Feeding
orphaned piglets
-
For piglets reared completely
away from the sow, it is best if they receive sow’s milk for the first 2
to 4 days. If not possible, prepare a mixture of colostrum supplement
and milk replacer for that same period of time.
-
Weaning can be achieved when the
piglets are consuming a sufficient quantity of pre-starter.
