 Priority and success in weaned pig systems defined by:
- Fewer "starve-out" pigs
- Fewer pigs to "pull" and treat
- Fewer pigs to gruel
- Fewer poor gaining pigs and "fall outs"
Early feed intake after weaning is priority NUMBER ONE!
- Better starts require early, aggressive food intake.
- Early aggressive food intake results in:
- Fewer fall-backs
- Fewer potential culls
- Better early gains
- More full value pigs
Delayed food consumption at weaning can result in increased vulnerabilities to:
- Chilling
- Early gut problems
- Diarrhea
- Weight loss
- Reduced health
When Piranha Pig is fed on mat/ board, pigs will quickly and aggressively eat.
Akey Piranha Pig also works excellent mixed with water and fed as a “gruel”.
Mash form reduces wastage vs. pellets rolling and bouncing off mats or boards.
- Developed and formulated to stimulate and achieve early food intake
- Highly palatable
- This achieved without the high cost of expensive prestarter pellets
- Includes medication
Feed for up to five days after weaning on mats/ boards and in feed trays.
Feed in gruel feeders with water for critical care pigs and “starve out” pigs. |
