        There are big variations in production 
      
      
        systems in the pig industry and even within 
      
      
        one unit the performance may vary over 
      
      
        time because of fuctuations in health 
      
      
        status, for example. This, and other factors, 
      
      
        can lead to differences in the number and 
      
      
        weight of piglets and the weaning weight.
      
      
        Such variations within and between units 
      
      
        present different nutritional demands 
      
      
        and very often one feeding program is not 
      
      
        suffcient. Therefore, Provimi has developed 
      
      
        three feeding programs for piglets. This 
      
      
        ensures that your piglets get off to the 
      
      
        best possible start with the right diets that 
      
      
        help to guarantee healthy animals that 
      
      
        reach their target weights as effciently 
      
      
        as possible. The nutritional programs are 
      
      
        HeavyPig, EasyPig and HealthyPig and they 
      
      
        are designed to provide the best care for 
      
      
        your piglets. 
      
      
        An optimal combination of rawmaterials 
      
      
        and additives offers the perfect balance 
      
      
        between performance and safety. Choosing 
      
      
        the most relevant program for your business 
      
      
        will give you the best economical results.

        To obtain the best results, the right program 
      
      
        shouldbe implemented on eachunit. To 
      
      
        achieve this, two factors shouldbe considered: 
      
      
        the current health status on your farmand 
      
      
        future strategy or objective for the unit. 
      
      
        
          1. Health status
        
      
      
        The health status of the unit canbe judged 
      
      
        by taking into account the technical results, 
      
      
        observationof pigs, blood analyses and a 
      
      
        general reviewof the unit.
      
      
        Four categories are identifed: satisfactory,
