My name is Kage Hisamasa, and I work in the farrowing shed at Hanaizumi Farm in the pig farming division.

As June begins, the number of hot days is gradually increasing.
Pigs have degenerated sweat glands and are therefore unable to sweat, making them poor at regulating their body temperature.
At Hanaizumi Farm, a breeding farm, the utmost care is taken to manage the physical condition of sows, who are particularly vulnerable to heat.
It’s time to pay.

This time, we will introduce important equipment for preventing heatstroke in summer.
Introducing Cool Cell.

Simply put, a cool cell is a cooling device that uses latent heat of vaporization.
A wavy, breathable cooling pad
Water is pumped from a tank onto the walls and circulated through the fans inside the pigpen.
When taking in outside air, the air cooled by evaporative cooling passes through the cooling pad.
This allows cool air to be drawn into the pig house.
This is a facility that will be used every day during the summer.

In addition to the Cool Cell, there are many other facilities and technologies for dealing with the heat.
First of all, we will carry out maintenance on the cool cell in May before full operation.
This is the first step in dealing with the heat.
The Cool Cell underwent maintenance the other day and is now operating smoothly.

As summer approaches, we want to keep both sows and piglets comfortable.
We will do our best to support you so that you can have a good time!
