Step 1
From the third day after birth, small piglets need to put a trough according to their growth with clean boiled water, from the fifth day - warm cow's milk, from the eighth - oatmeal jelly and boiled oatmeal. It must be cooked very liquid, in whole cow's milk. From day 10, bean hay should appear in the diet - it must be finely chopped and placed in a separate trough. If for some reason the piglet is left without a sow, it should be fed from a bottle with a teat 14 times a day with warm cow's milk.
