Weaning Young Pigs Use Natural Weaning From Early Age

Pigs nibble at two to four weeks and by week six or seven eat freely. This method reduces shock and makes weaning a natural event. Pamphlet 135 N.S., Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.

The faster cooling is due to iced water being a better conductor than cold air. New equipment directs a stream of water around corners to reach fire spots more effectively.
