Home Climate Solutions Pigs Heating

Heating solutions for pig and piglet farms

Piglets are extremely sensitive to cold stress, especially during the first weeks of life. Proper heating ensures their survival, growth, and immune development. In older pigs, consistent thermal comfort helps maintain feed efficiency and minimize stress-related health issues.

Heating Solutions for Pig Barns

Common challenges in pig barn heating

Even with proper housing and planning, heating pig facilities comes with real-world challenges that can compromise both performance and profitability:

Typical problems include:

· Uneven temperature distribution, leading to cold spots and piglet chilling
· High energy costs, especially with outdated or inefficient systems
· Condensation and humidity buildup, which can increase disease risk
· Poor air quality, caused by improper air exchange during heating
· Equipment corrosion, particularly in harsh barn environments

Solving these challenges requires more than just turning up the heat, it requires a smart, efficient, and integrated solution.

FAQ

Got questions about heating your pig facilities efficiently and effectively? Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive and our expert answers to help you make the right choice for your farm.

Piglets require a zone temperature of around 30–32°C (86–90°F) during the first few days of life. Supplemental heating like radiant or floor systems is key.

Even in moderate weather, heating is essential during early life stages or temperature fluctuations, especially at night.
