D26—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 20,1981 Reduce stress to keep pigs healthy NEWARK, Dela. - Pigs don’t always get sick when they come in contact with a disease causing organism. There usually has to be some interaction bet ween the organism, the pig’s nutritional status, and its environment. Stress factors that weaken an animal probably have as much effect on its health as disease organisms do, says University of Delaware Extension livestock specialist Richard Fowler. Good management identifies and reduces stress causing conditions. Environment is one factor that can cause stress. Whether you raise your own feeder pigs or buy them somewhere else and bring them to your farm for finishing, they need good housing to grow well. Their pen can consist of a pasture or woodlot, but it should be an area that hasn’t had hogs in it before, or that has been reseeded between groups. Shade or open front shelter is essential for pigs in an outside environment. Chilling is a stress that slows growth and lowers feed efficiency m the young Pig- The environment should minimize disease challenges not enhance them, says Fowler. Confinement housing should be designed to help the pig stay clean. Consider construction that allows high-pressure cleaning. Clean water is a hog’s most essential nutrient. Nipple waterers allow access to clean water. One producer who uses this type of system considers 10 pigs per waterer to be more ideal than 20. Two water lines permit the use of medication in one or more pens while the rest of the unit is getting plain fresh water. Since a stressed pig will often drink when he won’t eat, water medication can be helpful. Pen size and shape also are related to stress. Allow four square feet per pig for animals weighing 40-75 pounds. Increase the space to six square feet for the 75 to 125 pound pig, and eight square feet for 125 pounds to marketweight. Pens that are one-half to one-third as wide as they are long with at least one-third slatted floor space seem to encourage better dunging habits, says Fowler. A dry, draft-free sleeping area is also desirable. Solid pen partitions except over the manure pit or gutter increase pig comfort during cooler weather. In some barns a hover over the sleeping area to provide supplemental heat during cold weather improves feed efficiency and health of the 40 to 75 pound pig. A well-nourished, growing animal is less susceptible to disease. So check farm-mixed rations periodically for their protein, calcium and phosphorus content, to make sure ingredients are being blended properly. Weaned pigs respond effectively to 18 percent protein levels until they reach 40-50 pounds. Lower the protein level than to 6 percent until animals reach 100-125 pounds. Finish them on 13 to 14 percent protein. Fresh feed is essential. Empty bulk bins at least once every 30-60 days. Allow feeders to empty once a FARMERSVILLE AUCTION TUESDAY, JUNE 23,1981 5:30 P.M.
