The temperature of pig farm determines the health of pigs

In the production management of pig farms, environment and temperature are two important factors that directly determine the production, and they are also the magic weapon for pig farms to win. Raising the temperature to an important position is a major improvement of the management concept. The temperature required for each stage of the pig herd is different, which requires the production manager to know the temperature at all times and control the temperature in order to minimize the stress caused by inappropriate temperature and the impact on production. The temperature of each stage of pig herd is summarized as follows: the optimum temperature range of breeding boars: 17-21 ℃; the optimum temperature range of pregnant sows: 18-21 ℃; the optimum temperature of lactating sows: 20-22 ℃. The optimum temperature for suckling piglets, nursing piglets and fattening pigs was 29-33 ℃, 22-25 ℃ and 19-22 ℃, respectively. Combined with the actual situation of production, how to grasp the temperature of different pig herds is the key. From the point of view of production managers, managers should be clear about the temperature range needed by pigs at each stage, and find ways to provide operational conditions, such as ventilation and cooling equipment in summer, heating and heating equipment in winter, and require breeders to register the temperature of their pig sheds and herds every day, and keep records. From the point of view of breeders, the temperature of their own pigs must be controlled, which is the most critical factor for raising pigs well. How to effectively control the temperature of pigs, the following is the experience: 1, the barn as far as possible dry and clear dung, can not use water as much as possible to prevent the stress of high temperature and humidity and low temperature and high humidity to pigs. 2. Observe the specific conditions of pigs, such as sleeping position, feeding and so on. 3, do a good job of ventilation, heating and other work. 4. prevent the thief wind and the extreme heat in summer. The thermometer is an important basis for measuring the temperature in the barn, but we can not rely too much on the thermometer, everything should be pig-based, pigs have the final say, which requires a high sense of responsibility and dedication of the breeders. For example, the temperature of the delivery room can be 21-25 ℃, while the temperature of the incubator is 29-32 ℃, the breeder can not only look at the thermometer in this range, everything will be fine, but must carefully observe the sleeping position, feeding and health of sows and suckling pigs to adjust the temperature to make the pigs in the optimal state. After weaning, piglets usually need to heat up, the range is 29-31 ℃, but in practice, we can not only look at the thermometer in this range, we need to observe the sleeping posture and feeding of piglets, the temperature is high, piglets do not eat a lot of water, scattered sleep or do not sleep and run around. The piglets huddled together when the temperature was low. Breeders should adjust the temperature in time according to these conditions to ensure the optimal temperature state of piglets. Temperature is the basic guarantee of pig health and one of the important factors to build the internal immunity of pigs. at the same time, temperature is also the best barrier to control pathogens, so grasping the temperature of pigs is the magic weapon to win in pig farms. -- Thank you for sharing.
