Colostrum 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 Pork, 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.
Speakers: Mandy Nevel / Mark McFarland
There will be two sessions, 8 June from 7pm-8pm and 9 June from 9am-10pm. To sign up to one of the sessions, click the below link to register
