Summary:
A PorkNet Summary/ — Work reported in the Canadian Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 80, looks at the consequences of cross fostering piglets older than two days of age. The cross fostering was typically done at six days of age. It was concluded that cross fostering at this time did not impair the growth of the piglets, but did facilitate their adaptation to unacquainted piglets after weaning.
