Gut development is essential for weaner pigs

Intestinal development is crucial for the future health and performance of all young animals. It is especially relevant for piglets during the weaning period. Low feed intake immediately after weaning is responsible for villous atrophy, lower nutrient absorption and reduced available energy. Unfortunately, this phenomenon occurs during a period when growth is crucial, especially since post-weaning body weight is highly correlated to final body weight. Among the major nutrients absorbed by the g
