Perhaps due to the increasing effects of global warming in recent years,
Even in Iwate, there are many days with high temperatures from around May.

As we approach summer, a difficult season for pigs
Pig farms are also making preparations for the summer as early as possible.
Especially in fattening pig farms, as shipping approaches and the pigs grow larger.
Along with this, the body temperature rises, and as a result, the temperature inside the pigpen also rises.

Since last year, we have increased the number of ventilation fans, and the movement of wind inside the pigpen has increased more than ever.
It's smooth.
I think there will be many hot days this year as well, but I want to make sure that the pigs don't get stressed out.
I would like to manage and raise them.
