Zinc oxide: solving one problem but creating another?
The weaning transition is on one of the most critical stages of the pig’s life. Zinc oxide (ZnO) in pharmacological doses has long been known as an effective way of preventing post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), and controlling E. coli infections.

Feed acidification - by today’s standards
Feed acidification is the process of reducing the pH of feed by using organic acids. This process has proven its efficiency in helping to reduce harmful bacteria and improving feed digestibility for decades. Today’s solutions for feed acidification are more effective, better targeted to specific applications and often non-corrosive. Some even have additional benefits such as allowing you to influence the dietary electrolyte balance. Despite being a producer of formic and propionic acid, we believe the world is best served with these next generation solutions that are safer and more effective.

Feeding strategies can be sustainable and profitable when raising piglets without zinc oxide
Interview with Dr. Francesc Molist Weaning is an important but highly stressful time for piglets. Several stressors put huge pressure on their digestive and immune systems making piglets vulnerable to diseases, like post-weaning diarrhea (PWD). Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been successfully used as a cost-effective solution of mitigating PWD for many years. But in 2017, the European Commission supported a decision by the European Medicines Agency to move away from using pharmacological doses of ZnO in piglets’ feeds. Because the benefit of using ZnO does not outweigh the negative environmental impact and the associated risk of increasing antimicrobial resistance bacteria. This new context demands for alternative solutions to prevent PWD and maintain the piglet’s health status during weaning. A multifaceted approach needs to be taken which incorporates biosecurity, health care, management, and nutrition. Join us in this interview with DVM, PhD, BBS Francesc Molist, Research & Development manager at Schothorst Feed Research (Netherlands) where we discuss new nutritional approaches when feeding piglets after the ZnO ban and give useful advice for pig producers to maintain a sustainable and profitable production during these new times.

Weaning Winners Program
The Weaning Winners program from Perstorp addresses key nutritional risks. This strategy provides the piglet with an exogenous and endogenous defense shield that will act like multiple lines of defense to ultimately reduce the risk of PWD.

What happens now?
Preventing PWD should ideally be holistic, combining optimal nutrition with best biosecurity, management, and health practices. There is no single substitute for ZnO, so each plan should be tailored to the needs of the individual farm.

Gut Health Challenges for Swine
The life of a pig is full of challenges. Even before birth resources can be scarce. After that, things don’t get any easier. At weaning and even at the finishing stage, pathogens make life hard for a pig. The overarching challenge for swine producers is how to navigate this plethora of challenges while also keeping the amount of antibiotics used to a minimum.

Post-weaning diarrhea
PWD is caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). It reduces animal welfare and causes huge economic losses due to the high costs associated with slower growth rates, increased veterinary treatments, and higher mortality. And all this during one of the most important phases of a piglet’s growth cycle, the weaning phase.

Weaning Challenges
Weaning is probably the most pivotal moment in a pig’s life where the manager’s decisions can have an enormous effect on the piglet’s wellbeing and performance. Many problems can occur, ranging from depressed feed intake, pathogenic pressure, diarrhea, social stress and many other factors negatively affecting the piglet's health and performance. You can find an overview of articles and other resources below discussing challenges that a piglet can face during weaning.

Focusing on feed hygiene and gut health is two steps closer to NAE
To achieve the goal of No Antibiotics Ever (NAE), the industry needs to look at all areas of the production system. Health and nutrition are 2 very important topics to address when the objective is high performing antibiotic free animal production. Our Sofia Rengman zooms in on gut health and feed hygiene as 2 key drivers to help reduce the need for antibiotics and help enable NAE (No Antibiotics Ever) production.
