Pre-weaning piglet mortality is an important economic and welfare problem in the commercial pig industry.
Energy deficit is one of the main pre-disposing risk factors for piglet mortality.
Management strategies , such as energy supplementation to neonatal piglets, may reduce pre-weaning mortality.
In practice, energy supplementation might be implemented in the farrowing management.
Energy supplements may provide energy to neonatal piglets as well as improve their colostrum intake
Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of a commercial energy supplement (Vigorols) to neonatal low birth weight piglets on mortality, weaning weight, daily weight gain as well as the effect on colostrum intake.
