The fastest way to solve pig heat stress

Pigs are warm-blooded animals with thick subcutaneous fat, so they are very intolerant of heat. As the temperature rises, the problem of heat stress in pigs increases. Here we will introduce the fastest way to solve pig heat stress.

The fastest way to solve pig heat stress

1. Protect your heart and liver

Dissolve a dozen quick-acting heart pills in water and feed them or stuff them into a pig's mouth. They will generally take effect in a dozen minutes.

2. Bleeding at the tip of the ear

Cover the sow with a blanket to cool it down and dissipate heat. The physical cooling effect is good. If there is no improvement, you can bleed the pig’s ear tip directly, which can have a cooling and calming effect. The place for bleeding from the pig's ear tip is usually about 2-5 cm from the tip of the pig's ear. Just cut a small hole with scissors . Do not bleed too much, generally 100-200 ml of blood is sufficient.

3. Cool down with cold water

When pigs are experiencing heat stress and start gasping for breath, we must immediately move them to a cooler place. At this time, we can use cold water to pour on the pig's body, especially the head and neck area. We use cold water to cool the stressed pig for 10-15 minutes.

How to prevent stress in pigs?

1. When the temperature is high in summer, use Dongxia Taibao to let pigs drink more of this kind of drinking water. It contains vitamin C and mint , which can relieve the heat stress of pigs and play a role in cooling down pigs.

2. In the hot summer, the water in the pig's body can easily evaporate, causing the heat in the body to accumulate rapidly. Therefore, automatic faucets must be installed in the pigsty so that pigs can drink water freely.

3. Water curtain cooling is the most common cooling measure used in pig farms in summer. When used in a closed pig house with wet curtains and fans, the temperature of the pen can be reduced by 5-8℃.

4. It can be cooled by dripping water, which is suitable for farrowing sows and boars. It can be cooled by dripping water or hanging frozen mineral water bottles above the neck and letting them melt naturally.
