Katherine Vande Pol (University of Illinois) shared her insights on piglet birth weight and recent results, during this Swine It interview with host Laura Greiner.
All piglets should have colostrum from their mother. After that you could think on fostering a litter. Regardless of the birth weight is more important to have the same 4-5 hour difference in farrowing time. Not because the piglets are in the same farrowing room, you could try fostering separated litters of differente age (in hours). For you is 1 day, for the piglets are 24 hours of age difference.
