Trial Snapshot: Supporting underweight piglets post-weaning with AdiCare™ Piglet Force
Managing underweight piglets post-weaning can be a challenge, with lower survival rates and slower growth affecting overall herd performance. Our latest trial highlights the benefits of AdiCare Piglet Force, a highly digestible, palatable nutritional supplement designed to support these vulnerable piglets in the critical period after weaning. The trial focused on its use for the first six days post-weaning, demonstrating its positive impact on feed intake, gut development, and overall well-being.
The results show that piglets supplemented with AdiCare Piglet Force ate more, gained weight faster, and had higher survivability
rates compared to those on a standard diet. An optimised feeding strategy using round feeders further encouraged intake, helping piglets transition smoothly to solid feed. Additionally, piglets receiving AdiCare Piglet Force required less medication throughout the nursery period, highlighting its role in supporting overall resilience and well-being.
With the growing number of low-weight piglets in modern swine production, early and targeted nutritional support is essential. AdiCare Piglet Force provides a flexible, science-backed solution that can be used during the crucial post-weaning phase, helping piglets reach their full potential while improving farm productivity.

Trial Snapshot: AdiCare™ Piglet force Dry vs Porridge – which works best for piglets?
The post-weaning phase is a critical time for piglets, particularly those with low weaning weights. During this period, ensuring optimal nutrition is essential for supporting growth, gut development, and overall well-being. In our latest trial, we evaluated the impact of AdiCare™ Piglet Force in two forms – dry and porridge – to assess how each influences piglet performance.
