Impact of bioactive substances on the gastrointestinal tract and performance of weaned piglets: a review [PDF]

, 2009
The EU ban on in-feed antibiotics has stimulated research on weaning diets as a way of reducing post-weaning gut disorders and growth check in pigs. Many bioactive components have been investigated but only few have shown to be effective.

The Maturing Development of Gut Microbiota in Commercial Piglets during the Weaning Transition

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Early weaned piglets are vulnerable to diarrhea because of weaning stress and immaturity of intestinal tract. Compelling evidence suggests that gut microbiota is vital to host health.

Sow and piglet traits associated with piglet survival at birth and to weaning

Journal of Animal Science, 2020
AbstractAbstractUnderstanding the relationship between sow and piglet characteristics that are associated with stillborn rate and preweaning mortality is beneficial as litter size continues to increase. Two experiments were previously conducted to evaluate prefarrowing nutrition regimens on sow and litter characteristics.

Effect of Piglet Age on Distress Associated with Gas Euthanasia, Neonate vs. Weaned [PDF]

, 2013
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of euthanasia gases administered to 2 age groups of piglets: neonates (less than 3 days, n=160, BW 2.61 ± 0.81 kg) and weaned (16 to 24 days, n=160, BW 4.62 ± 0.76 kg). Two different gases were
