CONSITT Stress Care in Change of Feeds (This message brought to you as a public service, through the courtesy of Hensall District Co Operative. ) Hog feeders need to watch for the effects of too rapid a feed change, according to Jim Ranta, our swine specialist. When pigs are put in to the feeder barn for the first time, they can suffer from stress. An- other stress factor that affects pigs at this time is a feed change, The degree of stress depends on the formulas of the rations before and after movang from the nurs- ery to the feeder barn. The a- mount of stress suffered by the pigs in the actual move has an affect also. Feed change becomes a major problem if you switch the hogs from a bland ration to a high en- ergy starter ration. The animal -- not used to this --can't handle the extra energy and gets digestive upsets and often scours. If you are buying weaners at a sales barn or some other source, you can't always be sure what the pig's ration was in the nursery. Use a bland, low energy starter ration to keep stress to a minimum Your pigs may sacrifice some feed efficiency, but they will likely overcome this more quickly than the stresses from high energy feeds fed too soon. Here's a cynic's definition of a parking meter, quoted by the Ontario Safety League" "A gamb- ling machine that bets two bucks to your dime that you can't get back before the red flag pops up."
