EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF LIQUID MILK SUBSTITUTE IN THE FEEDING OF SUCKER PIGLETS
Keywords:
piglets, milk replacer, growth, preservation, feed costs, veterinary costs
Abstract
The article analysed the growth and survival rate of piglets in the post-weaning period, the amount of milk replacer and dry starter feed consumed during this period, the number, average weight and age of piglets sold from the group, the veterinary costs of rearing a piglet and achieving 1 kg of growth (separately for the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disease) and the cost-effectiveness of feeding PiggyMill milk replacer to suckling piglets compared to traditional Opticare Milk milk replacer. There was a 2.06% better preservation of piglets fed PiggyMill Milk replacer compared to piglets fed the similar Opticare Milk product. No significant difference was found between the animals of the test groups in the indicators for growth intensity in the weaning period, absolute weight gain and live weight at weaning. It was found that the piglets fed PiggyMill milk replacer had 2.4% lower costs for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases and 82.8% lower costs for their treatment, but a 1.54% higher percentage of litters of pigs with established diarrhoea during the suckling period compared to their peers fed the similar Opticare milk product. It was found that according to the structure of feed and veterinary costs for rearing a head of suckling piglets, the animals fed PiggyMill milk replacer had a 4.93% higher share of these costs and a 5.09% lower share of the costs for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases and 0.85% for their treatment. Overall, litters of piglets fed PiggyMill milk replacer had lower costs for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal disease but higher piglet feed costs, resulting in 6.9% higher total costs for these products compared to 1 piece and by 8.3% per 1 kg of growth compared to analogues using a conventional product for feeding. As a result, it was found that feeding the PiggyMill milk replacer improved piglet survival, did not affect the intensity of their growth and resulted in higher feed costs, both per piglet and per 1 kg of growth compared to feeding the traditional product.
