CARING FOR OUR PIGS (TEMPERATURE REGULATION) Pigs are very sensitive to any changes in ambient temperature. They can neither withstand draught or heavy rainfall. They are not a friend of intense sunlight because it makes their skin dry out. Temperate must be considered when building a house of pigs. The house should be constructed in such a way that temperatures in the day are low and the animals are kept warm in night or during cool periods. A healthy adult pig should have a body temperature that ranges between 38oC and 39oC. The normal body temperature of piglets is between 39-40oC. Anything above 40oC is a sign of illness. When the body temperature of a pig is high, they consume less feed or food and this affects growth and reproductive performances. Because pigs generally lack a sweat gland, they can’t sweat in order to cool their body. Therefore, a pig farmer should ensure the temperature in the pig house is below 35oC. The following are the ideal temperatures for pigs (of different ages) for optimum feed conversion and growth. • 1 day old piglets — 35°C • 1 day-1week old piglets — 30°C • 1-6 weeks old piglets — 24-30°C • Pigs from 20-60kg — 20-26°C • Pigs from 60-90 kg — 18-22°C • Adult Pigs 18-22°C For any assistance or further consultation contact us at: 0788 130353, 0775 879264, 0703 879264 Shoppers Stop Plaza, Shop No. A/F/44 [email protected], www.nutrinovaltd.com
