Webinar: Nutritional solutions for lactating sows under heat stress

Expert: Bruno SILVA, researcher, and professor in swine nutrition and environmental adaptation, Institute of Agricultural Sciences ICA, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Host: David SAORNIL, DVM, Product Manager, Swine applications, Lallemand Animal Nutrition, France.

Duration: 1 hour

Summary:

Under conditions of heat stress, sows reduce feed intake, resulting in losses of productive and reproductive performance.

The webinar evaluates the different nutritional approaches that could help improve feed intake, gut health, and lactation efficiency of heat-stressed sows, and therefore benefit piglets performance.
