Use of Spray Dried Blood Plasma for Recovery of Low Viability Piglets in Nursery

Abstract

The study objective was to evaluate if spray dried blood plasma (SDP) supplementation on commercial feed aids growth recovery of low viability weaned piglets during the nursery phase. Two hundred low viability piglets weaned at 21 days of age were allotted by body weight (BW) group (low versus medium BW) to two treatment groups (Control or SDP) with 50 piglets equally balanced by sex in each pen.
