Understanding the effects of heat stroke on pigsHeat stroke is a disease caused by the disorder of temperature regulation mechanism in pigs under high temperature environment. The heat dissipation effect of pigs' body surface is relatively poor, and they are easily affected by high temperature. Heat stroke will not only lead to an increase in the incidence of pigs, but also have an adverse effect on the production performance and economic benefits of pig farms. Provide plenty of cool drinking waterIn the hot summer, providing pigs with sufficient cool drinking water is the key to preventing heat stroke. Pigs need enough water to replenish water loss in the body and also help regulate body temperature. Sufficient drinking water facilities should be set up in the breeding environment to ensure that pigs can get fresh, cool drinking water at any time. Maintain a suitable feeding environmentIn summer, a suitable breeding environment is essential for the health of pigs and the prevention of heat stroke. The pig house needs to provide adequate ventilation and cooling facilities to keep the indoor temperature within a suitable range. Wet curtains, fans and other equipment can be used to help pigs dissipate heat in a high temperature environment and maintain a comfortable body temperature. Consider feeding time and feeding methodIn the hot summer, the feeding time of pigs should be arranged reasonably. Try to avoid feeding and managing pigs in the afternoon when the temperature is highest to prevent pigs from being affected by extremely high temperatures. At the same time, in hot weather, the feeding method of pigs can be appropriately adjusted to reduce the burden of high temperature on the digestive system of pigs, such as feeding in batches or choosing easily digestible feed. Pay attention to pig behavior and symptomsIn order to promptly detect signs of heat stroke in pigs, keepers should pay close attention to the behavior and symptoms of pigs. Once abnormalities are found in pigs, such as rapid breathing, increased body temperature, loss of appetite, etc., appropriate measures should be taken immediately. Pigs can be cooled by providing wet towels, providing a cool environment, or spraying water directly on their backs. Through the above preventive measures, we can provide pigs with a relatively cool living environment and minimize the risk of heat stroke. At the same time, this can also ensure the production performance and health of pigs and provide guarantee for the sustainable development of pig farms. Thank you for reading this article. I hope it can help you care for the health of your pigs in the hot summer. |
