Heat stress in swine

Heat and handling stress are common in Thai pig houses. Animals eat less, grow more slowly, and breeding performance can drop.

What shows up on farm

  • Lower feed intake and slower daily gain
  • Weaker semen quality and poorer sow performance
  • Extra pressure on immunity when animals are moved or mixed

Practical pathways

Keep houses as cool and well ventilated as you can. Shift feeding toward cooler hours. Provide clean water at all times.

Water-soluble vitamin C and electrolytes in the current catalog — Zetta CX, Zetta CM, and Zetta C Lyte — can support animals through hot periods. They are nutrition support, not a treatment protocol.
