A smooth transition from the weaning to the growing period.

During the first weeks of life the digestive system of the piglet is in a continuous state of development. This process is highly influenced by the quality of the feed.

From the moment of weaning the highly digestible sow’s milk is replaced with a less digestible solid feed. This change often results in problems such as digestive disorders followed by scouring, a dip in growth and a less than optimal condition of the animal at the start of the growing period. Many factors influence the financial loss involved, but feed composition plays a considerable role.

Loders Croklaan has a range of products that can smoothen the transition from the weaning to the growing period. For grower and finisher diets Loders Croklaan has specialties that improve the palatability of the feed, feed conversion, the growth of the piglet and the quality of the final carcass.
