A sudden drop or rise in temperature can cause stress in pigs and trigger diseases. One of the important reasons why pigs are prone to diseases in autumn is the large temperature difference between day and night. For example, when a pig is transferred from a nursery to a fattening house and soon falls ill, one of the important reasons is that the environment in the fattening house (mainly the insulation facilities) is worse than that in the nursery, especially in autumn and winter. Once used to a comfortable environment, the piglets suddenly come to the poor condition fattening house and are not adapted, causing stress and illness. To address this issue, piglets should be raised in two stages. In the first two weeks, the temperature in the nursery should be close to the temperature during lactation, and in the second two weeks, the temperature in the nursery should be close to the temperature in the fattening house. The principle of covering up in spring and freezing in autumn is also fully applicable to pig farming. When it gets cold in late autumn, the temperature in the pigsty should not rise sharply; At the end of spring, when it's just hot, don't let the temperature in the pigsty drop suddenly. Gradually implement cooling facilities and measures.
Effective temperature refers to the subjective perception of temperature and humidity by animals under the influence of different air temperatures, relative humidity, airflow velocity, thermal radiation, and other factors. Therefore, using only temperature as an indicator is not enough to accurately determine the degree of heat sensitivity of pigs.
