In 1993 construction of the new nursery was completed at Prairie Swine Centre Inc. The three new rooms are to be operated on an all in – all out basis. Each room is controlled individually for environmental temperature and ventilation. Feeders for the nursery were designed at PSCI to maximize access of piglets to feed while minimizing feed wastage and the build up of stale feed in the feeders. A preliminary study was performed to ensure the performance level of the animals were satisfactory. Environmental temperature was set at 30A?A?C for the first 10 days and then gradually reduced to 28A?A?C during week four. Body weights of individual pigs and per pen feed usage was monitored at weekly intervals. No abnormalities in behavior or performance were noted. Performance was considered good compared to modern commercial nurseries.
