(Agricultural Wealth Network) What effect does temperature have on piglet growth?
--------------------------------------
Temperature has the greatest effect on piglets throughout their entire growth and development process. Tests by the relevant departments have proven that the most suitable temperatures for piglet growth and development are: 30~35°C for piglets 1 to 3 days old; 28~30°C for 4~7 days; 22~25°C for 8~30 days; 20~22°C for 31~45 days. When piglets reach a body weight of over 15 kg, 20~25°C; 50`100 kg, 10~20°C; over 100 kg, 15~18...

When piglets reach a body weight of over 15 kg, 20~25°C; 50`100 kg, 10~20°C; over 100 kg, 15~18°C. When the temperature is higher or lower than the above ranges, piglet growth rate will be affected and slow down. Therefore, in summer, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling in the pig house, and feeding cold and clean feed. For fattening pigs, a dark pig house is preferable, so that the pigs move less and sleep more, gaining meat and fat. In winter, attention should be paid to wind protection and warmth retention in the pig house, feeding hot and dry feed, and increasing the number of feedings. When cold air arrives, the pigs should be allowed to eat their fill and eat well.
