Use of Silvafeed® Nutri P to prevent enteric disorders and boost zootechnical performances in weaned piglets

David Burch, I would not consider a trial with two replicates per treatment group for statistically sound even with individual tagging. As you mave have noticed the authors have also included FI and FCR which I assume have only two observations per treatment group. IMHO these figures can be accidental as we know that the individual pen has a very big influence on animal performance. What we usually observe in Danish herds are diarrhea two weeks post-weaning when the piglets shift from a diet with pharma zinc to the next one without. It is also rather common to see Lawsonia infections 4-6 weeks after weaning.
