Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm milk to about 35°C. Young piglets may be bottle fed or stomach tubed, however they will soon learn to lap from a shallow bowl. Feed every 4 hours for the first 4 days, reducing this to every 6 hours by week 1 and every 8 hours by week 2. Always have clean drinking water available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Birth Weight Piglets \u0026amp; Large Litters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiglets with birth weights less than 1 kg or those from large litters are subject to high mortality rates. They rarely survive if they are unable to attach to a teat or if the sow's milk is limited. Use Pig Milk Replacer to bring these piglets up to weight for age and then either continue to hand-rear or establish them on a foster sow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on breed, healthy piglets should weigh between 1.2 and 1.8 kg at birth and increase body weight by about 200 g per day (less for miniature breeds). Overfeeding can cause diarrhoea, so large deviations from the suggested feed volumes are not advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWeaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-reared piglets can be weaned at around 4 weeks of age as long as body weight is a minimum of 6 kg. Offer high quality digestible weaner food from 10 days of age. Once they start to eat sufficient quantity of solid food, reduce the milk and increase the solids until they are fully weaned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wombaroo","offers":[{"title":"5kg","offer_id":52973239402818,"sku":"WOMBAROO051","price":156.11,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":52973239435586,"sku":"WOMBAROO050","price":281.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20kg","offer_id":52973239468354,"sku":"WOMBAROO048","price":522.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6676\/0120\/files\/10_30676f13-e271-447a-aa1c-12272629a40e.jpg?v=1777347504","url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/products\/wombaroo-pig-milk-replacer","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
