ALTERNATIVES TO ANTIBIOTIC GROWTH PROMOTERS FOR POST-WEANED PIGLETS
M.A. Varley

Abstract
The overall profitability of pig production is conditional on weaning age, subsequent growth rates and continued high health status. The author contrasts the high quality/high performance approach adopted in Europe to that of North America, where often least cost/low performance prevails. The paper looks in detail at feeding and management regimes and their effect on health and profitability within the systems under review.
