Experimental Induction of Diarrhoea in Newly‐Weaned Piglets
Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series A, 1991SummaryTo induce diarrhoea and hypovolaemia, newly‐weaned conventionally bred piglets (3‐ to 4‐ weeks‐old), were either given secretagogues or were inoculated with enterotoxigenicEscherichia coli(ETEC).Choleratoxin (n = 2),E. coliheat‐labile enterotoxin (n = 2) or castor oil (n = 2) were given intragastrically or piglets were intraperitoneally injected

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.

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.

The effect of leonardite and lignite on the health of weaned piglets
Research in Veterinary Science, 2018A three-week trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of leonardite and lignite, natural sources of humic substances, on selected indicators of health status of weaned piglets. A total of 45 weaned piglets were assigned to three dietary treatments: Control - basal diet without any medication; Leonardite or Lignite - diet supplemented with lignite or

HOUSING SOLUTION WITH STRAW BEDDING FOR WEANED PIGLETS
Swine Housing II, 2013Weaned piglets can be housed in different kinds of systems. Recently several new solutions have been adopted by pig breeders to improve animal welfare and specially sanitary conditions. The experimental house with kennels and straw bedding in dunging-exercise area has 15 pens for weaned piglets (5-7 to 25-30 kg). Each pen consists of different areas: a

Effect of mixing piglets prior to weaning on immune responses of piglets
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2003Mixing piglets pre-weaning at 14 days of age has been shown to improve post-weaning performance and reduce skin lesions caused by fighting without any detrimental affects on pre-weaning performance and behaviour (Allen et al., 2000). The stress associated with weaning has been shown to alter immune function of piglets and increase their susceptibility ...

The effect of pre-weaning environment on piglets' post weaning behaviour
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1999A number of welfare and production problems are associated with weaning piglets including belly-nosing, ear and tail-biting, depressed immune responses, low intake of pelleted feed and impaired growth rate. These problems are, however, less pronounced in piglets reared on outdoor systems, which initially consume more pelleted food and show less belly ...

Animal health in flatdeck rearing of weaned piglets
Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe A, 1984SummaryThe results of an investigation of the prevalence of traumatic injuries and an evaluation of their relation to flooring and changes in piglet behaviour are reported. The material was divided into three groups; A (control) weaned at six weeks of age and kept in conventional pens, B weaned at three weeks and kept in conventional pens, and C weaned
