Research focusing on improving the resilience (the performance and the survival) of low birth weight piglets via oral supplementation (drenching) during the pre-weaning period. A first study looked into the safety of drenching. After this validation, different supplements were studied: bovine colostrum, quercetin, short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides and a concentrated milk replacer. Additionally, the impact of perinatal management was studied.
