Diseases in the gastrointestinal tract among piglets before, during and after weaning can generally lead to more or less severe diarrhea, and are one of the most common causes of infectious mortality among the animals.

One of the most common digestive pathologies found in piglets is Colibacilosis caused by E. coli. Prevention of the proliferation of opportunist microorganisms such as E. coli and guaranteeing intestinal health should always be a priority during the lactation period and early post-weaning days.
