Early-Weaning Rations. -- There is increasing interest in weaning pigs at about 3 weeks of age, especially among producers who have suitable facilities. There are some commercial rations for this purpose and, because they contain skim-milk powder, sugar, protein, and vitamin and antibiotic supplements, they are more expensive than most other feeds sold for pigs. ... If you wean pigs at about 15 pounds average weight, feed them a special prestarter or early-weaning ration, preferably a commercial one, until they weigh about 30 pounds. Then change gradually to a grower ration. Each pig needs about 10-15 pounds of prestarter.
