Optimal Lighting for Pig Health and Productivity
Providing the right type and amount of light is crucial for pig health, welfare, and productivity. Matching the light environment to the pig's stage of life and ensuring a balance between light and dark periods are key considerations for pig farmers.
Light Intensity (Lux Levels)
Breeding sows (mating and gestation areas):
- Recommended: 100–150 lux at animal eye level.
- Higher intensities (closer to 200 lux) improve reproductive hormone activity, heat detection, and sow activity.
Farrowing rooms (sows with piglets):
- Around 100 lux during inspection hours to allow for careful monitoring.
- At night, use low-intensity lighting (5–10 lux) to avoid disturbing natural rest cycles.
Nursery (weaned piglets):
- 50–100 lux to encourage feeding and exploration.
Finishing pigs:
- 40–80 lux is generally sufficient for welfare and growth.
