Humidity control and drying for pig farming

The ideal relative humidity (RH) levels in pig houses and sheds should rest between 40% and 70%.

While this guidance applies to every farm, the dehumidifiers needed to establish these climatic conditions will vary from site to site. To help you acquire the best equipment, talk to our team about your specific needs.

As well as enhancing the comfort, health and welfare of your herd, capable dehumidification improves the productivity of your operations, whether you’re rearing pigs for meat or breeding.

Yes – by creating suitably dry atmospheres where your pigs live, mould and mildew cannot take hold. This helps prevent the release of spores that may otherwise threaten your animals’ respiratory health.

Dehumidifiers reduce the stress on pigs by creating a comfortable environment that allows them to regulate their body temperature more effectively. As a result, this allows for better feed intake, which in turn supports faster growth rates.

No – dehumidifiers should be used alongside dedicated agriculture ventilation solutions to create a constant flow of fresh air inside your facilities. This plays a particularly important role in ammonia reduction, improving air quality across your enclosures.

• Enhancing the fertility and reproductive success of your animals

• Reducing the presence of infections to avoid involuntary culls

• Minimising water damage to your pig sheds and enclosures
