Use of water micro-sprinklers for cooling the farrowing rooms
Micro-sprinklers were installed above the windows in order to reduce the temperature in the farrowing rooms in summer.
How to protect the sows from the heating lamps in the farrowing quarters
In many occasions, the location of the heat lamp very near to the head of the sow can bother her.
Hyperthermal boxes for hypothermic piglets
This trick allows us to save hypothermic piglets easily, quickly and with surprising results.
Nests for piglets in the farrowing quarters
The aim of this trick is the improvement of the quality of the environment in the farrowing quarters for the sows as well as for the piglets, saving on energy consumption by means of the manufacturing of nests.
Seasonal effects (temperature and light): analysis and minimization of their consequences
It is a widely documented fact that pig production has seasonal variations mainly focused on a descent in the reproductive efficiency in the gestation phase (difficulty in the coming into oestrus, a higher number of reproductive failures) during the summer and autumn months.
Effects of the physical environment, animal traits, feeder and feed characteristics on the feeding behaviour and performance of growing-finishing pigs
Thompson's tip: Heat stress in boars
Creating nests in a conventional weaners stage
We are going to save money in heating during the weaners stage guaranteeing the thermal comfort of the piglets by creating two environments in the weaners stage defining an area for the nest and an outside area.

Thermographic diagnosis: Practical tools in the farm
The thermographic cameras can measure the temperature in all the image with resolutions that are equivalent to 19,200 infrared thermometers at the same time.
