ESPHM REVIEW ▶▶▶
College (SRUC) looked at the theme of large litters and how to manage them properly. She spoke about optimising man- agement, paying attention to colostrum intake and foster- ing, for split suckling and cross-fostering, nurse sows and artificial rearing. With regard to optimising nutrition, she zoomed in on the sows and how to feed them for farrowing fitness, for piglet robustness and for enhanced colostrum yield.

Large litters and how to manage them The last day of the ESPHM the stage was for keynote pres- entations on sow health. Dr Emma Baxter of Scotland’s Rural
Large pig litters and disease Last but not least, Dr Enric Marco of Marco Vetgrup in Barcelo- na, Spain also talked about large litters – and how to deal with disease. He emphasised the importance of a high colos- trum intake, the essence of hygiene, the advantages of batch management and also the keeping of litter integrity. As such, he proved not to be the biggest fan of bringing in foster sows. Having touched on the effects of limited cross- fostering to decrease mortality during PRRS outbreaks, he said, “Little research has been done on the effect of cross fos- tering on other diseases and their effect in later stages but some recent work done at Wageningen University shows that disease spread can be reduced on farm by avoiding mixing from birth to slaughter.”
