Effects of the sow-piglet relationship on the weaning and post-weaning behaviour of piglets
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1997The constraints upon the sow-piglet relationship differ markedly between husbandry systems. Within the farrowing crate the sow and the piglets are physically unable to remove themselves from one another. In most outdoor farrowing systems the sow must remove herself from her litter in order to feed and drink and, where piglets are successfully ...

Demands for improved animal welfare and animal handling systems from governments, non-government organizations and consumers are increasing. The weaning period in pork production has particular potential to positively impact animals. This chapter focuses on current practices that can be detrimental to piglet well-being, improvements to these practices,

Segregated Early Weaning and Welfare of Piglets
Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 1999Segregated early weaning (SEW), introduced with the objectives of eradicating or controlling diseases and improving performance, is becoming increasingly popular among producers. The main features of SEW are weaning piglets early and moving the newly weaned piglets to a site isolated from the sows and other animals. In this article, we describe the key

Optimising the health of weaned piglets
2022The weaning period is a very stressful event for the piglet that can impact the health, welfare and performance. This period of transition is characterized by the adaptation of newly weaned piglets to their new environment, diet, changing in their immunological status and pathogens circulation that can impact their following performance.

Early-Weaning and Immunity in Piglets
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1988Neonatal and post-weaning losses represent significant economic loss to the pig industry and in terms of animal welfare the loss of one in ten piglets within the first four weeks of life seems unacceptable. Many losses occur within hours of birth due to a variety of causes, such as overlying, chilling, starvation and disease.

Minimising disruption of piglets at weaning
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1987Pigs at weaning are usually regrouped to form batches of individuals similar in weight, and consequently of a similar potential for growth. This has the effect of disrupting the social organisation present amongst pigs sucking a sow. Re-establishing social order involves fighting and stress, both antagonistic to a high level of performance.

Insoluble nonstarch polysaccharides in diets for weaned piglets
Journal of Animal Science, 2012To examine the effect of inclusion insoluble nonstarch polysaccharides (iNSP) in weaned diets on postweaning piglet performance, intestinal activity, and microbial composition 2 experiments were designed. In Exp. 1, 180 piglets were weaned at 28 d of age and divided over 3 treatments: positive control (PC; highly digestible protein), negative control ...

Transport of early weaned piglets
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2008Abstract Millions of segregated early weaned (SEW) piglets are transported each year. Problems affecting even a small percentage of these piglets may have a significant welfare impact. The Recommended Codes of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals [CARC, 2001.
