Heat placement for young livestock.
Heat is a critical component for getting animals started quickly and maintaining optimal health. During farrowing, nursery, and wean-to-finish, a micro-environment needs to be maintained within the pig pen to ensure piglets are protected from chilling-which could result in scours, thus less healthy and thriving piglets.
The provision of supplemental heat for livestock is characterized into;
- Top-down heat: Radiant heat from above the animals provides a zone of comfort for animals to go to the feeder/drinker then return under the heat source in the resting area.
- Bottom-up heat: Heat rises, so having heat under the juvenile animals tend to be more practical and economical as heat is not lost. This works well for farrowing and nursery animals.
