Helping weak piglets safely through the first few days.
The first 72 hours determine vitality and growth. Early stabilisation supports every litter.
Why a Weak Start Is So Critical
Newborn piglets have hardly any energy reserves. If they do not drink colostrum quickly enough, they become chilled, lose their suckling reflex and permanently lag behind their littermates.
Energy deficiency & chilling
Without sufficient energy, body temperature drops rapidly in the first few hours.
Weak suckling reflex
Underweight piglets do not get a chance at the udder – a vicious circle begins.
Lack of Immune Protection
Without sufficient colostrum, passive immunity is missing – pathogens have an easy target.
Why weak piglets occur
Several factors often coincide within litters.
1
Large, uneven litters
With 14+ piglets, there is not enough colostrum for all of them – the weaker ones lose out at the udder.
2
Low birth weight
Piglets under 1.0 kg start with significantly lower reserves and become chilled more quickly.
3
Barn climate & farrowing stress
Long farrowings and cold areas further weaken the piglet in the first hours of life.
The earlier you provide support,
the better the piglet develops.
