Predicting creep feed intake in piglets Creep feed intake is highly variable not only between litters but also within the same litter. Nevertheless, some guidelines are needed
Weaning stress on piglets and their microbiota One topic of the meeting was the effect of weaning on piglets and the microorganisms in their bodies. discussed how early life stages strongly impact future
Piglet growth helped with yeast instead of antibiotics The British pound dropped nearly 15 percent against the euro after the June Brexit vote, but UK pig producers may benefit from this currency situation
