Weaning is a stressful event for piglets, subjecting them to many changes. As a rule, the abrupt change from sow’s milk to solid feed leads to a decrease in feed intake during the first days post-weaning. Low feed intake and stress damage the intestinal wall and compromise the piglet’s immune system. Although piglets increase their feed intake a few days post-weaning, their digestive capacity is still underdeveloped. This results in undigested nutrients, such as protein, accumulating in the large intestine, causing a proliferation of harmful bacteria and, subsequently, diarrhoea.

"Highly digestible protein can be a means of reducing the risk of weaning diarrhoea, thus improving the growth and health of piglets", says Dr Anne Huting, SFR
