Which milk replacer is good? I'd like everyone to recommend one.
Can anyone recommend a good milk replacer?
I want to start an ultra-early segregated weaning project. Can anyone recommend a good milk replacer?
Online I only found Anyou; I've seen others use a product from Yingwei.

Ultra-early segregated weaning project? I'm from a research institution in a major pig-raising province. I'd be excited to discuss it in detail; we have mature technical reserves!
--------------------------------------
Use CP 550s milk replacer. I've done trials myself, and the results were quite good.
--------------------------------------
Hehe, if I tell you about a product, you'll say I'm advertising! If I tell you about technology, you'll say it's hard to believe. People!
Because you're doing a project, not carrying out production, that's why I said it that way! Decide for yourself!

If it's a milk replacer for piglets, I recommend Nanjing Yushi's; if it's for calves, I recommend American Land O'Lakes'.
--------------------------------------
We wean at 16-18 days of age, and our nursery survival rate stays around 98%. Within one week after weaning, we feed about 40% imported milk powder. Part of the milk replacer we make ourselves, and part we buy from another company. Wet feed trough, dry feed trough, one dry and one wet, with dry feed available for free feeding.

16-18 days of age can only be considered early weaning. What I'm planning is an ultra-early segregated weaning program at 8-10 days of age, as part of disease eradication, using Isowean technology (PIC's patented technology from earlier years). Right now I'm mainly looking for a suitable milk replacer. When I did it years ago, I had Shanghai Ainong specially process the feed. I think that with current technological advances, there should be mature commercially available products now.

Weaning too early is not good for the sow, and has little effect on the piglets. Even if they completely don't know how to eat feed, as long as the method is right, they'll completely learn to eat feed in at most two days. There will definitely be an effect on body weight. I think you can try imported milk powder; using imported milk powder for the transition works pretty well.

Thank you! Ultra-early segregated weaning is also a last resort. I hope to obtain piglets with a higher level of health, not to increase production. In recent two years, the weaning age in Europe and America has shown a trend of being delayed (from 18 to 21). As you said, weaning too early is not worthwhile in terms of overall benefits because of the negative impact on sow reproductive performance
