Key Technical Points for Cooling Pigs and Disinfecting Pig Farms in Hot Seasons
In summer heat, bacteria also breed easily, and for pig farmers at large, doing a good job of disinfection and cooling is very important. So how do you cool pigs in summer? What disinfection techniques are there for pig farms? 1. Among livestock, pigs have the poorest body temperature regulation ability; when the air temperature rises to 30-32°C, a pig's rectal temperature begins to rise. When the air temperature rises to 35°C with relative humidity above 65%, if it lasts for an extended period, pigs cannot tolerate it. When rectal temperature rises to 40°C, it is already close to the dangerous limit. Because pigs have thick subcutaneous fat and extremely underdeveloped sweat glands, a large amount of body heat cannot be dissipated. When the air temperature rises close to body temperature, the pig's body cannot adapt, the cardiovascular system is overloaded, and failure and coma may even occur, ultimately leading to death from extreme heat; in addition, high temperatures cause disorders in the body's metabolic processes and endocrine function, producing a series of adverse reactions: poor appetite, a sharp drop in feed intake, leading to insufficient nutrient intake, a sharp decline in the pig's physical condition, stopped weight gain or weight loss, thereby affecting production efficiency. To safely get through the hot season and ensure normal pig production, several simple methods for cooling pigs are introduced below, suitable for small-scale farms.
