Nursery is one of the most critical stages in any production system, since starting pigs off in the right direction is crucial for maintaining their good performance throughout their entire lives. However, as we all know, there are some challenges when it comes to nursery management, including high occurrences of diarrhea and piglet stress. In this episode, I have a great conversation with Dr. Christine Mainquist-Whigham, a swine veterinarian working in a commercial system. She shares her perspectives and experiences on the main challenges of the nursery phase and we discuss key strategies for managing early nursery scour, feeding protocols, vaccination programs, sanitation, among many other topics.
“If we can accomplish environments that are both clean and low on stress, for the most part, we are able to completely eliminate nursery scour.’’ - Dr. Christine Mainquist-Whigham
