Summary:Objective To determine in Australian pig herds the accuracy of French protocols for risk factor assessment of post‐weaning diarrhoea and illthrift. Procedure French protocols for the collection of data on health indicators and risk factors for post‐weaning diarrhoea were conducted on 54 batches of weaner pigs from 28 Western Australian pig herds during three years. Results Large variations in post‐weaning performance were found. About one‐third of the batches were growing at
