Using two complementary audit tools to investigate preweaning mortality and diarrhoea risk factors in pig farms

Auteurs : Boulot S, Daniel L, Aubry A, Capdevielle N, Hervé G

Neonatal diarrhoea is a common condition with major impacts on piglet survival, growth and welfare. In addition to medical prophylaxis, effective prevention relies on controlling various risk factors linked to animal and farrowing-house management and also associated with preweaning survival. This study investigates the complementarity of two different audit tools for identifying areas of improvement and preventing pre-weaning mortality
