Piglet management plays a crucial role in the entire pig farming process. Whether it's improving slaughter rates, ensuring uniformity among piglets, or reducing growth time, everything starts with proper care from birth. From the moment they are born, piglets need consistent and effective management to ensure their healthy development. During the nursing period, we introduce specific feed materials to support gastrointestinal development and prepare them for solid feeding after weaning. Once weaned, piglets transition to solid feed, making nutrition even more critical during this phase as it lays the foundation for their future growth performance. For improved broiler pigs, testing nutritional regimens is essential to maximize growth efficiency and achieve the desired carcass quality. In Eastern Europe, where pig breeds vary widely—both modern and traditional—having a flexible feeding plan is key. The focus should be on finding the most suitable feeding strategy that maximizes each pig’s genetic potential, starting with high-quality suckling or feeder feed. The quality of the feed given to piglets is vital for optimal growth. Early feeding is especially important; we want piglets to start eating immediately after weaning, consuming weaning diets to maintain a healthy gut environment. Feed intake depends heavily on diet quality, so consistency in the formula is essential. Only when a new formula has been proven to improve growth performance through testing should it be implemented. Proper feed processing is also crucial, especially for heat-sensitive milk proteins. Due to the careful production required, even small quantities of piglet feed are often produced in specialized facilities to guarantee quality. A 2008 study highlighted the importance of roughage quality in post-weaning performance. It compared different whey sources in corn-soybean meal diets, showing that piglets fed certain high-quality whey sources gained significantly more weight than those on a control diet. This study emphasized the need to identify high-quality whey ingredients, explaining why many Eastern European countries import suckling and weanling feeds rather than produce them locally. Ensuring access to high-quality roughage and registered suppliers is essential. Digestible feeds, including cooked cereals, high-quality fishmeal, and milk proteins, can enhance digestibility, reduce illness, and minimize weight variation among pigs. In one trial, digestible feeds reduced the percentage of sick or dying pigs by 94%. High digestibility also helps reduce weight differences among pigs, which is important when transferring them to the finishing house. Smaller weight variations indicate better feeding strategies and lead to more uniform marketable pigs. Pigs fed highly digestible feed showed an average weight gain increase of 410 grams over conventional feeds, proving the long-term benefits of quality nutrition. Despite the importance of feed quality, proper management remains the key factor. Some producers in Eastern Europe avoid using compound feeds during the nursery phase, opting instead for simple diets. However, this approach can negatively impact piglet performance and increase feeding costs. As piglet nutritional needs change with age, using compound feeds is the only way to meet these evolving demands. In summary, good quality feed combined with effective management sets the stage for successful pig growth. A strong start ensures a successful finish. Editor’s Note: 1. Different pig breeds have unique nutritional requirements, yet most commercial feeds lack precise formulation. Feed companies need to develop more specialized options tailored to specific stages and breeds. 2. While some domestic piglet feeds include high-quality whey, the cost is often high, and the exact ingredients used are unclear. 3. In Taiwan, some farmers give piglets artificial milk after weaning before moving them to the nursery. It would be helpful to understand how similar practices are handled elsewhere.
