How to feed weaned piglets

Proper feeding of weaned piglets is crucial for their healthy growth and development. Both overfeeding and underfeeding can lead to serious issues. Excessive feeding may result in digestive problems such as indigestion and diarrhea, while insufficient feeding can cause stress due to hunger, which negatively affects the piglets' overall health. Therefore, it's essential to find the right balance when feeding. After each feeding, it’s important to check the feed troughs to see if there are any leftovers. If only a small amount of feed remains, and no large piles of powder or pellets are left, this suggests that the feeding amount is appropriate. However, if the troughs are clean and moist, it indicates that the pigs didn’t get enough food, and the next time, the quantity should be increased slightly. On the other hand, if there is leftover feed, it means the amount was too much, and you should reduce it accordingly for the next feeding. Another key factor to monitor is the piglets’ defecation. Observing the consistency and frequency of their stools can help determine if the feeding amount is suitable. In the first three days after weaning, the feces tend to be coarse and loose, ranging from yellow to brown, which is considered normal. If the stool becomes soft, shiny, and retains its normal color, the feeding amount doesn't need to change. However, if you notice small amounts of feces with visible feed particles, it could mean some pigs are overeating, and the next feeding should be reduced by about 20%. If the feces are mushy, light gray, and mixed with undigested feed, it may indicate that the entire group is struggling with digestion, and feeding should be paused temporarily. Lastly, observing the piglets’ activity levels can also provide valuable insight into their hunger and well-being. Before feeding, if the piglets make loud noises and rush toward the trough, it may mean they are very hungry and could benefit from more food. After feeding, if the trough is quickly emptied and the piglets remain near it without returning to their nests, it might suggest that the feeding amount is still insufficient, and additional feeding points should be added. Conversely, if the piglets show little interest in the food, with weak sounds and no signs of urgency, it likely means they aren’t overly hungry, and the feeding amount can be slightly reduced. By closely monitoring these factors—leftover feed, fecal condition, and piglet behavior—you can better adjust the feeding strategy and ensure optimal growth and health for your weaned piglets.
