[en] The aim of this review is to present the potential of bovine colostrum as growth promoter in piglet-weaner diet. The consequences of weaning on the growth performance, on the gastro-intestinal tract and on the metabolic and endocrine systems of the piglet are described in the first part of this review. The second part is dedicated to the bovine colostrum, with a description of the actions due to its main growth promoters and antimicrobial factors. Finally, the reported effects of bovine specific components or bovine fractions on the growth performance and on the structure and function of the gastro-intestinal tract of piglets in the early postweaning period are presented. They show clearly the potential of bovine colostrum to reduce the growth-check related to the weaning of the piglet. [fr] L'objectif de cette synthèse bibliographique est de présenter le potentiel du colostrum bovin en tant que promoteur de croissance chez le porcelet au sevrage. Les conséquences du sevrage sur les performances de croissance, le tube digestif, le métabolisme et le système endocrinien des porcelets sont décrites dans la première partie de cette synthèse. Une seconde partie est dédiée au colostrum bovin, avec une description des promoteurs de croissance et des facteurs antimicrobiens contenus dans celui-ci. Finalement, les effets d'éléments spécifiques du colostrum ou de fractions de colostrum mesurés sur des porcelets au sevrage sont présentés. Ils indiquent clairement le potentiel du colostrum bovin pour réduire les pertes de performances associées au sevrage du porcelet.
