Environmental Control of Pigs

1 heat preservation

When 7~8kg piglets enter the nursery, the suitable ambient temperature should be maintained at 24.5 ℃, and the optimum ambient temperature at 20~25kg should be 23.0℃ ~ 24.5℃ (generally, the room temperature should be increased by about 2 ℃ ~ 3 ℃ after weaning).

2 to create good environmental conditions

Nursing pigs are susceptible to pathogen infection, so the house should be kept dry. The environment is clean and hygienic and the air is fresh. Use wooden boards or electric heating plates as mattresses to prevent piglets from getting cold in the abdomen and wearing out their feet and knees.

3 each pig has sufficient ground area

The feeding density in each column should not be too high, and the number of feeding heads should be determined according to the column area. Generally speaking, it is advisable not to exceed 25 heads per column to avoid stress.

(4) using reticulated ground

The use of external parasites is difficult to reproduce parasitic network ground (cast iron floor, etc.), while keeping dry, in order to reduce the infection of pathogenic microorganisms.

The height of 5 columns should be moderate

Prevent piglets from jumping in hurdles and install iron ring toys in the hurdles to reduce stress and avoid the occurrence of bitten fights, bulimia and other phenomena.
