Actively monitoring first thing in the morning and every 20 minutes is vital for comprehensive neonatal care in your farrowing barn. In this training video, our technical services team breaks down piglet care best practices to support the four goals during active monitoring, including:
- Allocating the proper amount of labor to support your farrowing population and keeping an accurate record of each intervention
- Providing extra attention to at-risk piglets to support udder interaction
- Adjusting heat sources according to piglet behavior
- Identifying and marking empty belly piglets to monitor nursing behavior

Keeping piglets dry, warm, safe and their bellies full is a fundamental practice to increase piglet survivability.
