Air: Essential for productive and profitable swine production

The three primary nutrients pigs need to thrive are water, feed and air. Proper ventilation is important because it reduces gaseous buildup, removes excessive moisture or humidity, and maintains ideal thermal neutral zones.

Today, if you consider the advancements in tunnel ventilation and positive or negative air pressure systems for filtration, the ventilation needs have changed dramatically. Additionally, using modern-day controllers, ventilation possibilities have become limitless.
