Content: If possible, the water they drink should have electrolytes to help keep them hydrated and healthy. Another challenge is that piglets won’t consume feeds that don’t taste or smell like the milk of their mothers. This poses a very difficult challenge because some owners might prefer giving them certain feeds. It’s essential that owners know what feeds are similar in taste and smell so they won’t have a hard time transitioning the piglet. Since piglets need to be placed in pens that are proportional to the number of piglets in one and their sizes, piglets must be able to interact with them properly. Feeding time must be scheduled and be done with all the other piglets around. Failure to give them sufficient interaction, as mentioned earlier, will lead to piglets biting each other due to the induced stress of the lack of interaction. This is one challenge that owners must pay attention to. Related questions: How long can a pig’s pregnancy last?
