A healthy appetite and strong overall condition are essential for the robust development of pigs and piglets. When vitality and feed intake decrease, this can have serious consequences for the growth of these animals, making them more susceptible to diseases. Specific challenges that affect the condition and resistance of pigs and piglets include transport stress, inadequate stable air ventilation, poor stable hygiene, abrupt changes in weather and adjustments in feeding rations. Such conditions can lead to reduced feed intake, resulting in growth retardation and a decrease in production efficiency. This not only impacts the health of the animals, but can also lead to significant economic losses due to increased care costs and lower yields.
