A Review of Success Factors for Piglet Fostering in Lactation
Animals, 2018 Piglet movement from one sow to another, or fostering, is required in modern pig farming but there is little available literature on the most effective strategy.

Vocal response of piglets to weaning: effect of piglet age [PDF]
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1997 Piglets vocalize a great deal during the first few days after weaning. The aim of this experiment was to determine if the calls given by piglets vary in response to one factor thought to influence post-weaning adaptation: weaning age. In 22 litters, each containing a minimum of 9 piglets, 3 piglets were weaned under identical conditions at 3, 4 and 5 ...

The biological stress of early weaned piglets [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2013 Pigs experience biological stress such as physiological, environmental, and social challenges when weaned from the sow. The process of weaning is one of the most stressful events in the pig's life that can contribute to intestinal and immune system dysfunctions that result in reduced pig health, growth, and feed intake, particularly during the first ...

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]
, 2010 This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.
