Summary translation
Setzen Biobetriebe Sauen- und Eberlinien mit hohem Reproduktionspotential ein, kommt es vor, dass mehr Ferkel geboren werden als die Sauen selber aufziehen können. Das Merkblatt zeigt, mit welchen langfristigen Zuchtmassnahmen dem Problem begegnet werden kann und mit welchen kurzfristigen Managementmassnahmen Ferkelverluste vermieden werden können.
