Hog losses in transit fall in hot weather finds
USDA reports reduced hog mortality in transit due to better loading and cooling practices during the hot spell. Over six days with temperatures near 100 degrees at South St. Paul, only 5 sheep, 41 calves, 5 cattle, and 109 hogs died on arrival, far below past peaks. Kansas City saw about 15 percent fewer hog losses in July and August than last year. Shippers use wet sand bedding and car roof bags, and increased space allows hogs to move and lie down, lowering heat-related deaths.
