Mixing Directions

1. Weigh 150g of powder per litre of solution using a scale
2. Mix with 0.5 litre hot water (60˚C) for 3 minutes
3. Add 0.45 litre cool water and mix for 1 minute (total 1 litre)
4. Feed the milk solution at a temperature of 38-40˚C (body temperature) (thermometer provides best results)

Feeding Schedule

Easy transition to Grober’s Porlet – Piglet Pre-Starter (0381)

• A specially formulated “gruel” pre-starter for excellence in raising early weaned piglets and/or supplementing oversized litters
• Shown to improve growth rates, piglet health and ease of weaning
• Use for undersized piglets to achieve weaning weight

Supplemental feeding to sow’s milk

• Supplementary milk can be introduced to the piglets as soon as 2-4 days of age
• The milk solution can be offered via a nipple bottle or an open recipient
• Both have to be maintained clean, particularly the recipient that has been contaminated by urine or feces

Feeding orphaned piglets

• For piglets reared completely away from the sow, it is best if they can receive sow’s milk for the first 2-4 days. If not possible, prepare a mixture of colostrum supplement and milk replacer for that same period of time
• Weaning can be achieved when the piglets are consuming a sufficient quantity of pre-starter
