Résumé
Weaning diarrhoea in piglets constitutes a serious animal welfare and economic problem in the Danish pig production, which traditionally is solved using antibiotics, zinc oxide, and synthetic organic acids. Almost half of the antibiotics for pigs are used for weaning pigs, and about 94% of the used medical zinc oxide ends up in the manure. The problem with the development of bacterial resistance and environmental consequences of the accumulation of zinc in soil has led to political demands for the reduction of antibiotics and phasing out of medical zinc in the EU. In general, there is a strong interest in finding 'natural' alternatives to antibiotics, zinc oxide and organic acids to prevent diarrhoea in pigs.
