Bathing: the hot weather in summer can give pigs a bath at noon every day to cool down. Ventilation: blow into the pigsty with a blower to send out the heat, but not for too long, it will make the pig feel uncomfortable. Pig house: wash the pig house with cold water to reduce the temperature of the pig house as a whole. Dripping: dripping equipment can be installed on the pigsty to let the water drop slowly and fall on the pig, which can take away the heat of the pig's body surface, so as to achieve the cooling effect.

Summer is the hottest time of the year, people will feel uncomfortable, in fact, animals are the same. Pigs in the summer, also need to do some cooling treatment, the most common method is to take a bath to cool down, in addition, can also be naturally ventilated and so on.

1. Take a bath to cool down. This is mainly for adult pigs to take a cooling measure, if it is not adult pigs, it is best not to try. The best time to take a bath is at noon every day, when the temperature is the highest, which is also beneficial to its health.

2. Ventilation and cooling. This is to use something like a larger blower to blow into the pigsty and let the heat out, but this effect is not very significant, because it will also make the pig feel uncomfortable.

3. Evaporating and cooling or cold water cooling. However, these two cooling methods, more advocate evaporative cooling, this effect will be more obvious, for pigs, the comfort will be better.

4. Dripping water to cool down. This cooling method is actually the same principle as taking a bath, except that it lasts a little longer. Some dripping equipment can be installed on the pigsty to let the water drop slowly and fall on the pig, so that when the water evaporates, it can take away the heat from the body surface and achieve the cooling effect.
