After 4 weeks, pigs can be fed whole milk powder, about 2 tablespoons of milk powder per meal, which can reduce the amount of liquid milk. This action is called teaching trough, and its purpose is to train the digestive ability of solid food.

After 6 weeks, you can feed the piglets a small amount of solid food or soak in water, or you can start trying fruits, vegetables and other foods.
