  • Gilts Acclimaton is a Key Factor in Ensuring the Health and Productivity of the Breeding Herd

    The main condition for introducing replacement cattle into the main herd is acclimatization. Firstly, it helps to protect the farm from disease outbreaks that are already present on the farm. Secondly, it prevents the introduction of new ones by making sure that the purchased animals will not be carriers and will not secrete the virus at the time of introduction to the herd. Accordingly, acclimatization, in addition to familiarizing newly acquired pigs with infections present on the farm, involves quarantine — isolation of animals from the main herd in order to prevent the introduction of new diseases.
