Fostering piglets

Post by lub » Sun Mar 24, 2019 7:36 pm

Has anyone ever had any luck raising piglets that were born but had no chance to get colostrum due to sow not having milk or sow death. If so please share we had a sow farrow piglets were normal but sow had developed a mass that blocked milk production and we had no other sows to go to. We used birthrite milk replacer and piglets seemed great till day 2 then just started dying. Anyone have a way to deal with this situation

Use a colostrum replacer like Ultra Start Multi Colostrum Supplement:
