Heat stress is not good for pigs. Very hot temperatures can cause heat stress, which can make pigs withdraw from feed. The feed intake may reduce up to 50% if the temperatures are too high. 

- Continous withdrawal from feed may affect their growth. 

- Provide enough quality drinking water for your animals and pay attention to their water intake.

- Make sure that your pigs drinking nipples are placed well for easy access.
