In this video, Grace deNeui, Iowa State University, discusses the common practice of split suckling.

Videos

In this video, Abigail Statler, Iowa State University, explains cross-fostering practices.

 In this video, Andrew Boschert, Kansas State University, explains research done to evaluate the effects of injectable iron on newborn piglets.

 In this video, Kayla Mills, Purdue University, explains research done to evaluate the effects of different induction protocols on the farrowing process, fetal oxygen supply, colostrum intake, and piglet survival.  

In this video, Madie Wensley, Kansas State University, explains the findings of her literature review on pre-weaning strategies that improve feed intake in the immediate post-weaning period. 

This video from the Pork Information Gateway will discuss, and demonstrate piglet orientation during farrowing and proper techniques for pulling piglets that get stuck at the pelvis of the sow. 

In this video, Dr. Julia Holen discusses the impact of essential fatty acids in lactation diets on sow and litter performance.

colostrum management

Colostrum is the first milk produced by the sow and is essential for piglet survival and growth. 


Light birthweight, weak piglets and piglets born later in the birth order require additional management to ensure adequate colostrum intake.
