Past few days I have been trying to figure out what is going wrong in my barn. I have lost a few babies, but in past few days I have lost everything that was still with mom and a couple of my older weaned ones. I don't know if it is a feed issue or a weather issue or a combination of both. I lost one older one today, so I am getting desperate to figure out what is going on. I am getting a round bale in today, so I will cut out the pellets and feed hay for a couple days to see if that helps. I will also feed a little grain (my top dress) to see if that helps any. I have never had issues like this before and it is very discouraging to lose any like that. It is even harder when they are fine when I check them and next time are dead. I have wormed this fall already, but I think I will be doing that again to see if that helps. I might treat for cocci, but they don't have any systems... In the few that seemed to be a bit under, they seemed to not eat as much, but nothing serious. I have had a little trouble with the pigs as well, so I am thinking maybe a bad batch of pellets(I am hoping!)
