Webinar series discusses piglet livability

Piglet livability is an important theme for producers. The theme addresses the challenges of stillborn piglets and pre-weaning mortality through effective nutritional strategies. It is possible to increase piglet livability by up to 2 weaned piglets per year with focused strategies on 3 critical areas within the breeding cycle.

Effective nutritional strategy

The first webinar will take place on Thursday, 30 March. In this episode, Marc Decoux, species technology manager at Cargill, will discuss the critical moments within the breeding cycle affecting piglet livability.

An effective nutritional strategy will be presented, based on these 3 critical moments, demonstrating the impact on piglets’ birth weight, uniformity and livability.
