Extract

The potential advantages of early weaning have been listed by Dr Braude in his introduction. In practice, however, piglet mortality can reduce or eliminate these potential improvements in number of piglets per sow per year, and in overall efficiency of feed energy utilization for piglet production (Table 1).
