WI-FI addresses these challenges by focusing on sow nutrition to
develop winter feeding strategies. The project provides new scientific
knowledge on
1) Energy and protein requirements of outdoor sows fed two levels of dietary protein
2) Intake and utilisations of two roughage types and how these interact with sow body condition, reproduction and litter performance.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets is an extensive problem, causing weight loss and piglet death, resulting in financial loss for farmers and reduced welfare for the animals.  The scope of this project is to perform research and development of Ablacto+ to take it from concept to a defined product.

 The overall aims of the EFFORT project are to establish basic knowledge on nutrient
requirements of organic produced pigs, transfer the knowledge into new feed
formulations and feeding strategies and implement these strategies at practical
herds.
