Encouraging piglets to eat more creep feed

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleProfessional

Abstract

Consuming creep feed can help piglets to successfully bridge the gap from milk to solid feed at weaning. However, some piglets eat more creep feed than others. Is it possible to learn from that behaviour? And can creep feed consumption be encouraged by appealing to their desire to explore? Researchers at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands put this to the test.
