Abstract

Increasing the immunoglobulin A (IgA) potential of sow colostrum protects newborn piglets against infection during the pre- and post-weaning periods. Feeding pigs with multi-species probiotics (5 g/sow/day) via top dressing from 4 weeks before farrowing until weaning increases the IgA levels in colostrum during the first 6 h after farrowing. This subsequently improved the piglets’ weaning weight and reduced the pre-weaning mortality rate in an outbreak breeder herd with porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED).
