Piglets are born with no acquired immunity until they consume colostrum which contains antibodies to the infections that the sow is exposed to prior to farrowing whether naturally or by vaccination. It is critical for the development of the piglet’s immune system as it’s full of energy, nutrients and antibodies. Newborn piglets obtain over 95% of their immunity from colostrum. It ensures optimal pig health and welfare and reduces the need for antimicrobials | McAuliffe Pig Farms
