Transitioning baby pigs from milk to pellets
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 4:56 pm
Have never used supplemental milk for sows. If they can’t raise pigs they get to meet bob Evans.
Had my elite cross sow farrow 16 live 3# pigs may 26. She can wean 10 at her best naturally. Next two sows had ample sized litters and not much room to transfer. So have a few pigs that have been doing Very well on powdered milk, thriving actually.
Want to get them off the milk and onto starter pellets as soon as I can but wondering how best to transition and at what age/size. Hoping some can share some guidance.
