Table 6.

Influence of diet complexity and weaning weight on weaner mortality and removals (%).

Weaning weight1	Diet2	Number of pigs	Deaths			Removals d 0 to 20	Deaths d 20 to 39			Removals d 20 to 39	Total deaths and removals
			Unthrifty	E. coli	Twisted bowel	Unthrifty	Sudden death	Meningitis	Unthrifty	Unthrifty
H	HC	120						1			1
H	LC	120					1				1
M	HC	120	1		2	1	1			1	6
M	LC	120				4	2				6
L	HC	120	1						2		3
L	LC	120	1	1		6	2			2	12

¹L = low weaning weight (below 6.5 kg); M = medium weaning weight (6.5 to 8.0 kg); H = high weaning weight (above 8.5 kg).

²HC = high complexity; LC = low complexity.
