In the beginning of 2023, we started a large-scale trial in a commercial farrow-to-finish farm in the Netherlands. Finally the results are coming in and we are eager to share them. Follow our Piglait channels to stay informed!
About the trial
The trial is conducted at a closed pig farm in the Netherlands. We are following about 10,000 piglets from birth untill slaughter. Half of the piglets receive our Robust Litter milks next to a traditional dry prestarter and weaner feed, the other half of the piglets receive only the traditional dry prestarter and weaner feed. Over the course of the next half year, we will update you regularly with the latest new results, including:
- Performance until weaning
- Performance until end of nursery
- Slaughter age and weight
- Return on investment
- Sow performance
- Eaters vs non-eaters
