Heat stress in pigsties – How can pigs be cooled down?
Pigs love to chill out – but what happens when temperatures rise? Unlike humans, pigs can't sweat and therefore quickly suffer from heat stress. In organic pig farming, open-air barns common, but how do you ensure the animals are comfortable despite the summer heat?
In this podcast episode, we speak with expert Nora Durec about smart solutions for barn climate control, from piglet nests to water cooling. How pigs release excess heat, which measures can help reduce heat stress, and what all this means for animal welfare and profitability – you'll find out in this episode!
In this podcast episode, Dr. Andreas Steinwidder with Nora Durec about the challenges of heat stress in pig farming. Learn how smart climate control concepts work, which measures improve animal welfare, and why cooling is crucial not only for the pigs but also for profitability.
