UK - The impact of sow nutrition on piglet quality was highlighted at recent BPEX Regional Producer Events and it set producers thinking.
Joe Blackstone of Midland Pig Producers is one those who, with his team, was prompted to review what they do. He said: "We’ve recently made an improvement from 11 to 12 piglets weaned per litter and the event prompted us to check with the nutritionist that the sows’ nutrition is correct for the amount of piglets we are weaning now.
"Also, the discussion about making sure sow weight loss during lactation is no more than seven per cent was a good reminder for us to weigh sows as they enter and leave the farrowing house, so we can monitor weight and adjust diets if needed. We’ve done that at times in the past but will now try to do it regularly."
英国——最近在英国养猪协会的地区生产商活动中，强调了母猪营养对仔猪质量的影响，引起了生产商的思考。
米德兰养猪生产者(Midland Pig Producers)的乔·布莱克斯通(Joe Blackstone)和他的团队，是其中之一， 本次活动推动他们回顾所做的事情。他说:“我们最近做了一项改善，从每窝11到12头断奶仔猪开始，本次活动促使我们和营养师一起核查,对我们现在正在断奶的仔猪来说，母猪的营养是否合适。
“同时,本次活动还讨论了确保在哺乳期的母猪体重下降不超过7%。这是一个很好的提醒，我们将在母猪进入和离开产房时称重，因此我们可以监控体重，如果需要的话，调整饮食。在过去我们偶尔做一下，但现在我们将尝试定期去做。”
