-Main target to provide survival for as many piglets as possible.
-At first, look for suitable fostering mothers as close to orphans as possible.
-Try to assure that the piglets intending to get moved if possible have got some colostrum from the mother. After getting a suitable fostering mother, don’t remove all her piglets, let at least 4-5 piglets stay, the smallest.
-If possible look for low parity sows for fostering.
-Protect the piglets not to get crashed. Implement of crashed – bars along the wall in farrowing pens can highly be recommended. Most important in farrowing houses.
