At present, the pig industry in China uses a single feed for piglets before weaning. In this periode, the average mortality rate of piglets in China is higher than 10%, while it's less than 1% in Europe. According to the European advanced pig farming technology researches, in this period after birth to weaning the intestinal development is rapid and is a very critical period in the whole life circle of swine and directly determines the result of fattening. At this stage, the intestinal villus length and the changes of the digestive enzymes, such as maltose, trypsin and so on, affect the nutrient absorption of piglets. Currently countries like Germany, Netherlands, Denmark prefer to use multiphase feeding, which help to improve piglet feed intake, weight gain and reduce mortality before weaning.
