How Can You
Best Cope With
High Temperatures?
* Move more air. If you already
use recommended ventilation
rates, but you want more air, in
stall paddle fans on the ceiling
before you put more fans in the
wall.
* Earth tube cooling. This is an
effective method - but for snout
cooling sows only. To draw all the
incoming air through earth tubes
would be impractical in summer
since it would take too many tubes.
Unless you have your own
backhoe, installation is expensive.

can expect from a new

just is*/2 inches from the

you avoid plugging and

That’s partially offset since the
earth tubes can also be used to
preheat air in winter.
* Spray Nozzles. These are
popular because they get the
animals wet and that’s the most
effective way to cool a hog.
They’re good for finishing
buildings, or breeding/gestation
areas. They should not be used in a
farrowing house. Choose a nozzle
size and regulate the spraying time
so that each hog receives at least
.02 gallons per hour. For example,
if you had 25 hogs per pen and one
nozzle/pen that puts out 3 gallons
'per hour, the nozzle should run
about 2 minutes out of 10.
* Drip Coolers. These work on
the same principal as the spray
nozzle. They make the animal wet
and cool, without adding

significant moisture to the air.
They’re ideal for sows in farrowing
crates since you can wet the neck
and shoulders of the sows without
chilling the baby pigs.
* Evaporative Coolers (Wet pads
through which incoming air is
drawn). These are better than
nothing at all but the industry
seems to be moving away from
them. They add to the humidity
and they’re least effective when
you need the cooling the most - on
hot muggy days.
* Foggers. These spray a fine
mist which does cool the air
somewhat, but they also increase
humdity. So like the evaporative
coolers, the industry is steering
away from them.
* Air conditioners. These work
great but the electric bill will cost
you an arm and a leg because of
the high ventilation rates used in
swine facilities.
