Heat Stress Alert – Sudden Death in Pigs During Summer

During the summer, many pig farms are struggling as pigs show signs of anorexia, heavy breathing, convulsions, diarrhea, and even sudden death without an apparent cause. The underlying issue is heat stress and electrolyte depletion—conditions that may seem minor but can fatally affect the entire herd if not addressed promptly. Prolonged heat not only impacts humans but also poses severe consequences for livestock, especially pigs. When temperatures rise, the risk of heat stress in pigs increases rapidly and unexpectedly, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers. Early detection and timely intervention are critical to protecting livestock during extreme summer heat...

Techniques To Reduce Post-Weaning Losses In Piglets – Secrets To Keep The Herd Healthy

Without proper management, piglets are at high risk of disease, stress, and mortality, leading to significant economic losses. As experienced pig farmers know, the post-weaning phase is a major shock for piglets: Sudden weaning, separation from the sow, changes in living environment and feed, coupled with an immature immune system, make piglets vulnerable. As a result, piglets are easily stressed and prone to diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, enteritis, especially from E. coli, Clostridium, PRRS, PCV2, etc. Without proper care, mortality can reach 10–30%, increasing..
