Truck Sprinkler Systems Reduce
Hog Weight Loss, Heat Deaths
A low-oost system for sprinkling
hogs with water in truck-trailers,
used experimentally during hot
weather,'reduced death losses to
zero and effected substantial re
ductions in loss of weighty of the
hogs in transit, according" to an.
Agricultural Marketing Service
research reported issued by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Shrinkage of weight of hogs per
trailerload was 724 pounds in
trucks in which hogs were not
•sprinkled, and 498 pounds in
tiucks with the sprinkler system,
a saving of 226 pounds per trip
Six hogs died in unsprinkled lots,
and none in the sprinkled lots
The average trailerload was about
110 hogs Losses through deaths
of hogs in transit have been es
timated in the industry at $4 mil
lion a year, and losses through
weight shrinkage are believed to
be far larger.
The sprinkler system consisted
essentially of a series of water
pipes installed in the truck-trailer
body above the hogs. Small holes,

drilled through the pipes at in
tervals, permitted water to spray
on the hogs, and a hose connec
tion was provided so that the
driver could connect the pipe sys
tem to a faucejt when he stopped
enroute The researchers also de
veloped a new sprinkler system
that can be installed in a truck at
a cost of about $35 on the basis
of 1956 prices
Sixteen test trips were made in
the summer of 1956 from Smith
field, NC , to Baltimore On each,
trip, two carefuly paired truck
loads of hogs were hauled, and
the hogs in one truck were sprin
kled and in the other were not
sprmkled Findings are based on,
comparisons of the results of
these tests
Although the 16 test trips are
regarded as insufficient to mea
sure conclusively the value of the
sprinkler system, results were re
garded as so significant that they
should be made available to the
industry Further tests are being
made
