From 2021-06-08to 2021-06-09Colostrum quality in pigs is often overlooked in the UK and Ireland, but it can have a profound effect on piglet viability and long term health. The nutrients and antiobodies found in colostrum are directly responsible for providing immunity and energy to piglets. It is only secreted by sows (and efficiently absorbed by piglets) within the first few hours after birth, meaning that swift and effective colostrum management is critical for long term piglet health.
Lallemand Animal Nutrition, in conjunction with the AHDB, is holding an insightful webinar on 8th & 9th June to discuss the importance of colostrum, how it can affect your piglets performance farm and what can be done to manage it.
The webinar will be focusing on improving colostrum quality, with practical on-farm management tips as well as the role of nutrition in sows.
