MARK ANTONIO JACHO LOPEZ
Spain
Hello, I am Marco Antonio Jacho López, veterinary doctor and zootecnista. I have certain experience working with reproducers in insemination centers, concretely in reproducers, I have not observed this behavior, but yes in pigs of it puts on weight. The coprofagia is generally unchained by deficiency of vitamins and minerals, although I don't discard the possibility that is a behavior redirigida (estereotipia) caused by estrés (it analyzes the handling of the animal), for what can also help him, to adjust the fiber percentage in the portion (5-6).
I hope my opinion is he of utility.
Greetings.
