It is rainy in summer. In pig farms, we often find that some pig houses in pig farms are very wet, and even some floors, corners and roofs have moldy traces. You know, too much water in pig farms will bring a lot of harm to pig farms. Humidity can also lead to the decrease of the temperature in piggery, inhibit the digestive system of piglets, and thus cause diseases. Therefore, this paper introduces in detail the harm of pig farm humidity and the prevention and control methods of pig farm humidity!

In summer, improper use of water in piggery will make piggery damp. What's the harm? Wet pigsty will increase the probability of skin diseases and respiratory diseases. Humid environment is easy for bacteria and protozoa to obtain favorable conditions for growth and development. Pigs growing in humid environment for a long time will cause skin inflammation, eczema, dermatitis, scabies and so on. And blisters, papules, erythema, itching, etc. Will appear on the skin, affecting the healthy growth of pigs. It will also affect the health of the respiratory system. The damp and sultry smell of piggery makes pigs cough, wheeze, lose appetite and reduce their resistance. For example, the piglets in the nursery are prone to diarrhea in summer, often because the pigsty is humid. This humidity is not only the humidity of the air, but also the humidity of the ground and the humidity in the incubator.

Improper use of water in piggery in summer will lead to high humidity. What is the solution? Sprinkling quicklime on the ground: Sprinkling quicklime on the ground of the house can make use of the moisture absorption characteristics of quicklime to dry the local air in the house; In addition, quicklime also has disinfection effect. In the case of poor indoor environment control, simply providing local microclimate for piglets also has a good effect. The method is to often dry the wooden mats laid by piglets with a stove, or to spread dry cloth or carpet on piglets a few days before their death, which can prevent piglets from lying on wet wooden boards and also play a certain role in preventing piglets from diarrhea. There are many ways to reduce humidity, such as indoor heating furnace, indoor air conditioning, increasing indoor energy and air volume, controlling the number of floor washing, and preventing water pipes from leaking.

Improper water use or poor ventilation in summer will lead to excessive humidity, especially in pig farms in the south. The humidity in piggery is high, which can easily lead to diseases such as stress and hinder the healthy growth of pigs. If you find that the humidity in the pigsty is too high, you should deal with it immediately. First, the main hazard of wet pigsty is that pigs are prone to illness. In summer, the humidity in the pigsty will lead to the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, which will increase.
