Optimizing weaning: From tactical separation to strategic transformation
Weaning is not simply a transition—it is a biological, behavioral, and logistical milestone that determines the trajectory of both the piglet and the sow for the rest of their production cycle. Done well, it boosts performance and animal welfare. Done poorly, it cascades into digestive disorders, reduced intake, stress-induced mortality, and missed reproductive

From risk to resilience: Rethinking weaning management to boost piglet performance
Weaning is one of the most critical turning points in a piglet’s life. It is a moment of profound physiological, nutritional, and behavioural disruption that, if mismanaged, can compromise lifetime performance and welfare. Yet, when approached strategically—with science, structure, and empathy—it becomes a launchpad for health, growth, and productivity.
As the industry pursues more efficient, welfare-centred production, managing the weaning transition with precision is no longer optional. I
