Gilt progeny are born lighter and often do not perform as well as progeny born to multiparous sows. This project included multiple trials that aimed to explore the reasons for this difference in performance. Potential dietary interventions that may help producers enhance progeny performance were also studied as part of the project. One trial explored the effect that larger creep pellet size has on feed intake both before and after weaning.
