2 Danes predict 40 pigs weaned/sow/year!!
3 Is there a benefit to increasing litter size?
4 Is there a benefit to increasing litter size? Boyd (2012)
5 Is there a benefit in increasing litter size? PW Mort L-FVP W-F Mort 1.6 kg Boyd (2012) PWM = pre-weaning mortality W-F DL = Wean to finish mortality Lifetime FVP = lifetime Full Value Pigs
6 Is there a benefit in increasing litter size? 1.6 kg 1.5 kg 1.3 kg 25 p/s/y 30 p/s/y 40 p/s/y Boyd (2012)
7 How many pigs/litter do we want? vs
8 Increasing litter size: small piglets vs. *Piglets from gilt litters -0.2 kg lighter
9 The effect of litter size on number of small pigs 36% 48% +12% smalls 46% 40% 12% 18% Ref. Boyd (2012)
10 Effect of birth weight (kg) on lifetime performance Birth Weight (kg) Prob.

11 Increasing litter size: birth (wean) weight variation? vs.
12 What is normal wean wt variation? STD = 20% Mean
13 Increasing litter size and # of small pigs 100 sows; 90 kg litter weaned; no mortality No. of pigs/sow Av. wean wt (kg) No. of piglets No. < 7 kg No. < 6 kg No. < 5 kg
14 Rearing large litters (small piglets) Q. Shall we just cull small birth weight piglets?
15 Not all small s a lost cause Pigs born light but weaned heavy can do well! Weight (kg) LL LH HL HH Runts Birth Weaning wks 15.1 a 18.0 d 16.7 c 20.7 e 11.8 a 10 wks 27,6 b 31.2 c 30.4 c 39.2 d 21.6 a 20 wks 87.6 b 93.8 c 90.0 b 98.6 d 68.1 a P2 (mm) 12.4 bc 12.8 c 11.8 ab 11.4 a 14.9 d Fed 3 kg Starter 1, 6 kg Starter 2 Ref: Magowan. 2013
16 Q. What strategies do you use for large litters? Split suckling Nurse Sows Milk systems Creep feeding
17 Use of artificial milk systems
18 Pre-weaning creep feeding
19 Cumulative creep feed intake (g/piglet) BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Creep feed consumption Don t expect large intakes pre-weaning! to to to to to 28 Ref: Bruininx et al 2002
20 ADG Post-Wean (g/day) BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Why creep feed? To increase post-weaning performance Later Weaning - 28 days Feed Regime Ref. Subalo et al. (2010) Ref. Bruininx el al. (2002)
21 Percent of pigs eating creep BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Stimulating intake: Introduce earlier Creep - From Day 7 Creep - From Day 14 Ref: Sulabo el al 2008
22 % of group eating BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Stimulating intake: Use high quality diets Light Pigs Middle Pigs Heavy Pigs Light Pigs Middle Pigs Heavy Pigs SIMPLE FEED COMPLEX FEED Ref: Sulabo el al 2010
23 Stimulating intake: Q. Heat matt or feeder? Meal, pellet or crumb?
24 Visits BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Why do eaters perform better post-weaning? Improved Post-Weaning Feed Intake % of Pigs Consuming Feed after Weaning a Visit with Feed Intake (8 h post-wean) Eaters 8 b b Non Eaters 6 No Creep Rel Diff (%) FI (24 h after first intake) Eater Non Eater No Creep 213% 100% 117% Ref: Bruininx et al 2002
25 Why do eaters perform better post-weaning: Improved microbiology and immune function? trillion organisms (1. 5 kg) bacterial species 10x more bacteria than host cells 100x more bacterial then host genes Metabolic functions including nutrient digestion Disease resistance (e.g. salmonella, E. coli) Immune function
26 Why do eaters perform better post-weaning: Improved microbiology and immune function? 40% of UK sows outdoor production system
27 The effect of indoor or outdoor weaning on subsequent performance # trials Length (days) Wean wt (kg) ADG (g/d) ADFI FCR Indoor Outdoor Ref: Miller et al 2008
28 Microbial Profile (%) Indoor v Outdoor Reared (Pigs at Day 56) Less Microflora Diversity in Outdoor Pigs Mudler et al, 2009
29 Weight (kg) BPEX Producer event 2014: Managing large litters and small piglets Creep feed can impact lifetime performance Earlier Start...Earlier Finish kg at slaughter OR 5 days less to reach market weight!! kg at nursery exit Average Start of creep feeding Weaning Top 3rd Bottom 3rd I4 Control I4 or Standard Creep All pigs fed identical diets Age (days) Primary Diets, Harper Adams, 2012
30 Early Wean Systems (requires veterinary direction in UK!)
31 Rattlerow-Quality Equipment early wean nursery Pig World, Sep 2013
32 Rattlerow-Quality Equipment early wean nursery 700 sow unit: 2 containers: 3 pens (3 x 2m): 25 piglets/pen: ( 9500/container) Wean 2-3 best litters at 8 days of age into system (creates nurse sows) Wean at normal age with other piglets (>9 kg BW) < 8% pre-weaning mortality (28.9 w/s/y) Other container used for smalls post-weaning (16 days) Feed regime: Milk powder(supple-milk): 0 to d 7-10 Crumbed feed (Easiflow # 2): 0 to d Starter feed (PS 25): 7 days pre-weaning
33 Piglet Crate (Knox Box)
34 Piglet Crate (Knox Box) 13 sows/week; 6 crates (1 crate per 10 litters) Wean a strong litter at d to free a nurse sow for smalls and excess Exit at 28 doa Results Start weight (11 doa) = 3.6 kg; end weight (30 doa) = 8.15 kg 0.4 kg Initiate 4, 4.5 kg Ultra Gain: ADG = 239 g/d, FCR = /pig feed cost + 2/pig labour + electric Margin 2800/year ( 37/pig market value) No mortality; thrive in flat decks
35 Early weaned and left in the crate/pen Practiced on numerous units Various ages (day 4 to 21 of age) Various feeders Transition feeders/bowls/troughs Various drinkers Cube/nipples/bowls Various weaning ages Younger/same age/older (+ 7 days) Various feed regimes Milk powders/specialist creeps/stage 1 diets
36 Feeding small piglets post-weaning 22 day old (12.2 kg)
37 How best to feed piglets Correct amount of correct diet to correct pigs! Optimal nutrition: safeguard piglet health and performance without adding intolerable cost (maximise on-farm profitability)

44 Advances in piglet nutrition and practical feeding: A Northern European view Summary Litter sizes are increasing Average birth (and weaning) weight will decrease Employ relevant pre-weaning strategies to reduce preweaning mortality (and increase wean weight) Low birth weight pigs can make money if treated right Variation is normal Manage it! Group and feed to weaning weight
