Shade and Water Spray Boost Pig Weight Gains at University Study
Two agricultural engineers reported at the 1965 American Society of Agricultural Engineers meeting that pigs with shade plus a water spray gained weight faster than those with shade alone. In a four-group trial of Duroc pigs, the cooled groups ate more feed daily, increasing growth rate, though feed per pound gained stayed similar. The study notes ongoing use of pasture rearing versus concrete pens in the Southeast.
