What is the body weight of pigs at 60 days of age in a typical pig farm?
Our farm's PIC pigs were only 13 kg at two months old. I feel their growth is poor. Fellow farmers, please discuss!
--------------------------------------
Normally it should be 20 kg. Your pigs are growing really poorly.
--------------------------------------
When I was at a pig farm before, two-month-old pigs weighed roughly 16-18 kg.
--------------------------------------
Because the pigs had diarrhea when they were weaned and moved to pens, their feed intake was very poor for about ten days. I wonder if any of you have had the same problem.
--------------------------------------
If the average weight is only 13 kg, then there is a serious problem with how your pigs are being raised. If it is only an isolated case, then it can be considered normal. Diarrhea caused by the stress of moving groups will definitely affect body weight gain.
--------------------------------------
Is there a problem with the feed?
--------------------------------------
Don't immediately blame the feed.
The good ones can reach 22 kg. Personally, I think 20 kg is about average.

About PIC, some say the headquarters is in the UK, some say in the US. So confusing. Does anyone know?
--------------------------------------
PIC doesn't have any specific infectious diseases, right?
