“…Statistical analysis revealed non-significant differences (P0.05) in ADG of young pigs between the three groups during the pre-weaning and post-weaning periods. Present findings of pre-weaning ADG are similar with the reports of Chandrahas et al (2008) in Landrace  Indigenous pigs from birth to day 28 of age and Saikia (2017) in LWY pigs weaned on day 28 of age. Similar post-weaning ADG were reported by Cinq-March et al (1986) for pigs fed without whey protein for the period of 28 to 70 days of age and Mahan (1992) for pigs fed with dried whey from 23 to 51 days of age.…”

“…Statistical analysis revealed non-significant differences (P0.05) in body weights of young pigs between the three groups under study on the day of birth (day 0), weaning (day 28) and end of the rearing period (day 56). Similar body weights at birth were also reported by Prakash et al (2008) in LW Y-Crossbred, Saikia (2017) in LWY pigs and Huting et al (2018) in Large White  Landrace  Hylean pigs. Similar body weights at weaning (day 28) were also reported by Cinq-March et al (1986)…”

Background: Pig rearing is the main income source for many unemployed people in India, particularly for the people in the north-east part of the country. It was found that the morbidity as well as mortality of young pigs immediately after weaning is high due to weaning stresses, mainly due to diet changes causing them to suffer from severe diarrhoea. For these reasons, providing creep feed along with dairy products during the period of pre-weaning and post-weaning is recommended. The majority of the farmers used skimmed milk powder which is commonly available in the market places, but since it is expensive, it may diminish the return for small-scale farmers. Methods: Present study was conducted to compare the growth performance of Large White Yorkshire young pigs (LWY) fed with diet containing skimmed milk and milk replacer during the pre and post weaning periods i.e., from 0 to 56 days of age. Parameters recorded were body weight in kilogram (kg), average daily gain (ADG) in gram (g), average daily feed intake (ADFI) in gram (g), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and cost of feed/kg gain (₹/kg). Result: Statistical analysis of all the parameters revealed non-significant (P≥0.05) differences between the three groups during pre-weaning, post-weaning and overall periods. It may be concluded that skimmed milk powder (SMP) can be replaced by milk replacer powder (MRP) in the diet of weaned pigs without any clinical complications.
