Feed intake before weaning
This table shows a trial done in Holland, testing the difference between piglets fed Milkiwean Yoghurt for 14 days against a group which only had pre-starter.
The Yoghurt group ate 421g Yoghurt in the first 14 days, then they got Yoghurt mixed with pre-starter for another 3 days, so in total they consumed 454g Yoghurt. From day 1 until day 26 (weaning) this group consumed 758gDM in total.
The prestarter group only ate 128g in the first 14 days, from 14 – 26 days they ate 298g, totaling 426g. This group ate 332g less than the Yoghurt group.
