Umversity, tell how to solve
some energy problems hog
fanners face in a chapter of
the 1980 Yearbook of
Agriculture, “Cutting
Energy Costs”, published
today by the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
To some, conserving
energy on the farm may
seem easy.
Simply lower the heat in
the pig nursery. Surely that
would save energy.
Be careful, caution
Stamslaw and Driggers.
Drop the temperature too
much and the pigs skimp on
changing the feed they eat to
pork chops and bacon. The
animals become chilled and
develop diarrhea. They grow
less meat. In the end, there’s
a net loss of energy.
Stamslaw and Driggers
show how farmers can save
energy by scientifically
insulating the walls, ceilings
and roofs of hog buildings.
Also, they advise, be sure to
make the necessary ad
justments to allow for the
healthy ventilation of gas
created by pig wastes.
They say the wide variety
of pork-growmg equipment
requires less energy when
correctly used and mam
tamed. Air filters in hot air
heating systems should be
kept clean and checked
daily. This is especially

important m the winter, a
tune when hog buildings
tend to be dusty.
Efficient farmers are
picky about animal housing
for sound reasons. They’ve
learned that a comfortable
hog yields more meat than a
hog that doesn’t feel well.
Hence, prudent use of
energy resources and other
precise management
practices translate into
higher profits and more pork
per unit of energy bumed-a
good deal for farmers and
consumers alike.
When pigs are un
comfortable, they let you
know it.
Let their housing get too
cool and they’ll pile up
against each other or bunch
up at the heat source to keep
warm. They also may stay
along the wall of a pen to
avoid cold drafts. Com
fortable pigs spread out
uniformly.
