Causes of slow growth in pigs..

Most times farmers are quick to blame the source of a pig or it’s breed for its slow growth.
The source of a pig and it’s breed are very vital to its performance, however there are other sometimes discreet but significant growth retardants.
Here is a list based on my experience in the business:

• Nutritional diseases

• internal and external parasites

• systemic infections or diseases

• Toxin

• Diarrhoea

• Damaged GIT

• Frequent change of feed formulation or source

• Stress

• Feed and water quality

A good pig farmer must be ready and able to identify and check these issues.
