The Squeal_0238: Cold-Weather Checklist: Barn Preparation_Part 2
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
When cold weather hits, it’s natural to want to tighten up barns to hold in as much heat as possible. But cutting back too far on ventilation can create problems that are just as harmful as the cold itself. In this second episode of our Cold Weather Preparation series, host Isaiah Spath, PIC Technical Services Manager, is joined by Nat Stas, PIC Wean-to-Finish Director, and Curtis Possberg, Senior Production Manager at Olymel, to explore the consequences of under-ventilating barns.
From poor air quality and higher humidity to increased disease pressure and reduced pig performance, the group discusses why balancing airflow and temperature is critical for keeping pigs comfortable and productive all winter long.
