Piggery cooling and heating systems

Pig housing should be constructed to protect your pigs from:

• adverse weather
• sudden temperature changes
• extreme temperatures.

Your piggery must meet the requirements for heating, cooling and ventilation. Meeting the pigs' requirements starts with the external design of the shed.

The cheapest and most effective way to cool your pigs' environment is to use water spray-cooling and ducted ventilation systems.

Young pigs need warmth to grow, so you need to heat and insulate your farrowing and weaner areas to provide the correct temperature for them, especially in cold weather.
