Artificial Rearing of Baby Pigs1

W. W. Green, H. H. Brugman and L. M. Winters

University of Minnesota

Abstract

A study of some of the habits of baby pigs suggests that it is possible and practical to teach small pigs to drink at an early age and that milk may be offered ad libitum.

Illustrations and construction specifications have been given for cages which are satisfactory for rearing baby pigs under artificial conditions. Apparently the pigs so raised are not handicapped by their environment. The advantages of rearing baby pigs under artificial conditions are pointed out and the use of the equipment is discussed.
