Heatstroke and fever in pigs are usually caused by being in a high temperature environment for a long time or poor ventilation in the pig house. In a high temperature environment, the temperature regulation mechanism in the pig's body is destroyed, and the heat in the body is difficult to dissipate, so fever occurs.
