Pig Brooders Prevent Chilling Save Lives
Agricultural engineer R M Peart of the University of Illinois recommends a 250 watt brood lamp with reflector to keep piglets warm and reduce sow crushing. A soft glass white lamp costs about a dollar, a hard glass red Pyrex lamp about $2.50, with no heat difference. A new brooder lamp distributes heat more evenly, and a metal reflector protects the lamp from breakage and helps prevent fires.

Dr. D A Willigan of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine warns spring conditions can trigger influenza in hogs exposed to cold rains and winds. Infected hogs show fever cough and listlessness but usually recover in about a week, though weight loss and reduced disease resistance may follow. Prevent by providing clean dry quarters and good feeding, and keep hogs from rooting in worm-rich earth where the virus spreads.
