Can someone tell me more about this new -to me- terminology of osmolarity/osmolality of feeds for weaned piglets? Is osmolarity and osmolality the same? How do you determine this value for feeds? Or is it something you can measure? What is the required level of osmolarity for recently weaned piglets?

The piglets stay in ...

Then i woul ...

What else I would like to learn? Simple, and just like a asked before. Practical experiences, not only technical results, but also the economics of the system. What does it really cost to use this system? How much milk does the piglets consume to reach the extra kilogram of weaning weight? How does the Ralco system works? I cannot find any information of the system on the website of Weda or Ralco ...
