Ambient Temperature Monitoring for Hog Farms is critical for efficient Hog farming.
Welcome to our Temperature Monitoring Page for Hog Farms in the Philippines. This page features a live heat/cold map, displaying the current and forecast temperatures across the country. Understanding and monitoring temperature conditions is crucial for the stable growth, health, and overall well-being of your pigs.
By staying informed about temperature variations, you can take the necessary actions to maintain optimal conditions in your farm or shed, ensuring your pigs remain healthy, robust, and productive. Whether it’s implementing cooling systems during heatwaves or providing extra warmth during cold spells, this tool helps you make data-driven decisions to safeguard your livestock.
Stay ahead of the weather and keep your pigs thriving with our real-time temperature insights.
Please also secure air temperature meters (thermometers) and humidity meters (hygrometers) for use in your farm. The actual temperature in your barns/sheds/farms vary on the density of your stocks, the environment, the materials used, shed design and other geophysical features in your location.
Heat Stress or Cold stress can be detrimental to your hogs.
Temperatures to note:
The optimal temperature range for pigs varies depending on their age and stage of development:
Piglets (Birth to Weaning):
- Newborns (First Week): 32-35°C (90-95°F)
- Second Week: 28-30°C (82-86°F)
- Third Week: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
Weaned Pigs:
- Post-Weaning (4-8 weeks old): 22-26°C (72-79°F)
Growers (8 weeks to Market Weight):
- 8-12 Weeks: 20-24°C (68-75°F)
- 12 Weeks to Market Weight (20-25 kg or more): 18-22°C (64-72°F)
Adult Pigs (Sows and Boars):
- Sows (Pregnant or Lactating): 15-20°C (59-68°F)
- Boars: 15-20°C (59-68°F)
Gilts (Young Female Pigs Not Yet Bred):
- Pre-Breeding: 16-20°C (61-68°F)
- During Gestation: 15-20°C (59-68°F)
Maintaining these temperature ranges is critical for ensuring that pigs are comfortable, healthy, and growing efficiently. Deviations from these optimal temperatures can lead to stress, reduced growth rates, and health issues.
