Weaning piglets at six weeks without antimicrobials – ROADMAP project

Weaning piglets at 6 weeks in Swiss organic pig farming increases stress and health risks, leading to higher antibiotic use. This critical phase is the peak period for antimicrobial use in organic systems. The solution focuses on reducing weaning-related stress, optimizing feed intake, and improving piglet health to minimize antibiotic reliance, supporting the ROADMAP project's goal of reducing antimicrobial use in livestock.
