Rations for piglets after weaning:
In this stage, piglets need good nutritions for development. Supply almost the refined food ( about 80% of ration). Fiber ratio in food is better only 5%-6% because the fiber degestinal ability is weak, if in the rations food have much fiber ratio will make the piglets indigestion, easy constipation, enteritis.
Ratio between food and water is best fitness: each 1 kg of refined food with 0.5 kg of clean drinking water. Maximum ratio is 1:1, also the farmers have to drinked water enough for piglets. If in rations of Piglets have much water ratio, it make the degestinal is not good and reduce ability for absortand the nutritions, protein, also the food has much water cause floor is dirty, wet and piglets easy to disease. But if the water ratio too less, it makes shorten water for piglets.
