Fombelle: Get weaned pigs off to a good start
Getting pigs off to a good start is both an art and science, and even under the best of circumstances it can be challenging. For many producers, it was even more challenging in 2020 with marketing constraints due to COVID-19. Producers were placing weaned pigs in barns that might not normally be used for young pigs, said Will Fombelle, DVM, with Carthage Veterinary Service. Additionally, barns that were previously single-stocked have been forced to go to double- or, in some cases, triple-stocked. Fombelle offered five ways for producers to maximize their efforts during the critical weaning period in a presentation at the 2020 Carthage Veterinary Swine Conference.
