晚断奶有助于减少仔猪死亡率

　　UK - Weaning piglets later and heavier can help to reduce piglet mortality. Allowing the piglets to be weaned at around 7kg, remaining longer with the sow can help to increase survival rates and reduce piglet mortality according to Mark Jagger from BQP Dalehead Foods.Speaking at the recent Farm Business Innovation exhibition and seminar in Birmingham, Mr Jagger in outlining the principles behind the BQP pig production system said that the company had developed production based on the five freedoms that were behind the RSPCA’s Freedom Food policy.
