pre-weaning mortality<br />
There's a standard swine producers and veterinarians have<br />
grown accustomed to: 15 percent. It's roughly the industry<br />
average for pre-weaning mortality in piglets, an issue that has<br />

continues to rise, pre-weaning mortality<br />
is growing right alongside it. According<br />
to the report, which looks at production<br />
data from about 35 percent of the U.S.<br />
