In the context of pig farming, effective ventilation is not only crucial for the well-being and welfare of the animals, but also for optimising farm efficiency and achieving financial sustainability.
Correct ventilation ensures a sufficient air renovation for breathing, removes unwanted gases, suspension particles and harmful germs, and controls and harmonises temperature and humidity. In short, it contributes to creating an optimum environment for the adequate growth and development of the pigs.
The primary objective of mechanical ventilation is to ensure consistent and uniform ventilation throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.
The time has now come to move forward: the requirements regarding emissions, especially in the EU in Effort Sharing 2021-2030 programme, are increasing; the geopolitical situation in 2025 will provide an opportunity to boost pork exports; the European pig farm industry will have to invest more in feed, biosecurity, nanotechnology, optimal management of data (IoT, AR, AI), minimisation of energy consumption, digitalisation and connectivity in order to increase efficiency and generate greater profit.
