Tips on ZnO - John Haugegaard
Our host, Rubén del Pozo, Technical Associate Director EURAM at MSD Animal Health, talks with John Haugegaard, a Danish pig veterinarian at Øvet and head of the Danish Pig Veterinarian Society. They talk about the current situation of post-weaning diarrheas since the banning of zinc oxide in Denmark.
John explains the main challenges that EU producers and vets are facing nowadays: antimicrobial usage restrictions, bacterial resistance, ZnO removal, unsolved infections, etc. The Danish experience on removing antibiotics as food promoters as well as on banning ZnO, allows him to have some relevant data on what is going on with diarrheas after piglets’ weaning.
- Should we start preparing the piglets before weaning?
- Or even the sows?
- Should we stop for a while, learn from nature, and try to bring something into it? For example, delaying the weaning age?
- Are there any efficient alternatives to ZnO?
Listen to John Haugegaard's words about this critical stage of piglet’s life.
