Once producers have cooled the breeding environment as much as possible, they should provide rations that produce minimal metabolic body heat while meeting the animals’ nutritional needs, advises Dr. Ray Washam, manager of swine technical ser vices for Ralston Purina Company. “As Kansas State University and our own research show, heat stressed sows tend to reduce feed consumption to avoid further in ternal heat production,” he says. “This causes body weight loss that can delay return to estrus, reducing both conception rates and subsequent litter size.” High Net Energy Rations Solve Problem A solution to this dilemma of increased stress and reduced consumption is to provide lactating sows with high net energy rations, the researcher suggests. “It’s well-established that fat causes less heat production during digestion and thereby decreases heat stress,” he says. “High fat rations like High Octane Lactation Chow help sows maintain energy intake even during hot tem peratures.

Summers, especially if ex tremely hot, can present breeding problems for hog producers, Washam continues. “But these problems will be far less severe where producers have fine-tuned their management techniques and facilities to meet the warm weather challenge,” he concludes.
