Challenge due to increasing litter sizes

This brings many challenges for the modern pig farmer. How do you raise all these piglets successfully with the sow? Farmers are faced with more variation between litters and lighter piglets at weaning (<5-6 kg). These piglets require different support than the heavier ones.

Baby Wean ensures good performance combined with sufficient safety due to the high digestibility of the ingredients.
