Humidity control and drying for pig farming: FAQs

How does high humidity affect pig farming?

Excessively damp atmospheres in pigsties can negatively impact the comfort of your herd, creating stifling conditions that make it hard for them to regulate their body temperature. Moisture can also lead to the spread of mould and bacteria, causing health issues such as hoof disease and exudative epidermitis.

When your pigs are uncomfortable or unwell, this can cause growth rates to fall, fertility to decrease and feed efficiency to plummet, stunting the productivity and profitability of your farm.

To achieve the ideal climatic conditions in your pig sheds, speak to our team of experts. Backed by decades of expertise, we can recommend the most fitting technology for your exact setup.

What is the ideal humidity level 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.

How does a dehumidifier benefit pig breeding?

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.

Can dehumidifiers help reduce respiratory problems in pigs?

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.

How do dehumidifiers improve feed efficiency in pigs?

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.

Do dehumidifiers reduce the need for ventilation in pig housing?

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.

Are your dehumidifiers cost-effective?

Yes. We pride ourselves on engineering some of the most energy-efficient and economical dry air systems in Europe. With a commitment to energy-saving components and high-quality construction, we empower our customers to establish environmental control in their pig farms while minimising long-term running costs.

What are the benefits of controlling humidity in pig barns?

Tackling higher levels of moisture in your pig barns with professional dehumidification is a wise investment, as it can help elevate the profitability of your farm. The right technology does this by:

  • Improving the comfort, productivity and growth rates of your pigs

  • 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

By reaching out to our experts we can put you in touch with your nearest local supplier so you can receive the products you require in the most timely manner possible.
