Extract

Dried skimmed milk (DSM) is a common constituent of piglet creep rations. Liquid skimmed milk (ISM) is considerably cheaper per unit of feed value and if it could be fed successfully to young pigs as a substitute for DSM without adversely affecting performance, significant savings could be made in weaner rearing costs.

Twenty litters from Large White x Landrace sows, totalling 199 piglets, were offered one of two creep rations.
