Key Technical Points for Feeding and Management of Suckling Piglets Before Weaning

From three weeks of age to before weaning, piglets grow and develop increasingly rapidly and need more and more nutrition, while the sow's milk yield at this time shows a declining trend, creating a very prominent contradiction between supply and demand. At this time, the work of early supplementary feeding for piglets (to make up for the insufficiency of breast milk nutrition) must be carried out well; otherwise, the growth and development of the piglets will be hindered. Early supplementary feeding can provide a feed transition for the piglets' weaning and reduce various problems that occur after weaning due to feed conversion.
