somewnat difficult during periods
of cold weather.
Purchased feeder pigs raised on
different farms and placed
together for sale must be handled
carefully. The goal of management
is simply to maintain or improve
the health of the animal before
placing it on a rapid gaining ration.
Young feeder pigs must have a
warm, dry, draft-free sleeping
area with good ventilation. Straw
bedding can be used in con
ventional buildings. A “hover
area” with heat bulbs may be used
when floor heat is not available in
concrete-floored feeding units. Air
currents or drafts must be
eliminated in either open-front
structures or with conventional
buildings.
Water medication has proven
successful for many swine feeders.
Newly arrived feeder pigs are
often stressed and in many cases
will consume medicated water
before they will eat medicated
feed.
