What is the proper match for housing where piglets are weaned?

The proper match for housing where piglets are weaned is the nursery. This type of housing is specifically designed for young pigs after they have been weaned from their mothers. In the nursery, piglets typically stay until they reach a certain age or weight, ensuring they receive the appropriate care and nutrition needed for growth and development during this critical transitional period. The nursery environment is tailored to support the health and well-being of weaned piglets, making it an essential part of swine production.

On the other hand, finishing barns are intended for older pigs that are nearing market weight, gestation housing is designed for breeding sows, and farrowing barns are for sows during the birthing process and to care for newborn piglets. Each of these other types of housing serves a different purpose in the overall lifecycle of swine, making the nursery the ideal choice for housing weaned piglets.
