Nutrition (Conventional Wean)
When pigs are weaned, feed should be placed on the comfort mats and in the feeder (which should be opened as much as possible). Three lbs. of feed should be spread on the mat at least 3 times/day initially and then slowly decreased over a period of 3 to 5 days. Pigs should slowly migrate to the feeder over this time.
The water source should be adjusted to drip until pigs have found and are drinking from it.
