How do pigs keep warm?

Answer 1

Pigs cannot handle cold if they are young, very lean, or have been exposed to a sudden change of environment. Young pigs just weaned need to be held at at least 80 degrees, under a heat lamp if possible to let them adjust to being weaned. Some people stick them in a barn of hay, thinking they will stay warm. Not unless you have several for body heat! They will burrow down in the hay but if it is cooler than 60 degrees or so, they risk getting pneumonia. Larger, fatter hogs can take the cold much better but they still need a DRY place to sleep. In the northern states, hogs tend to be fatter and have more natural "cover" and this helps them tolerage northern weather. In southern states, a leaner hog can be raised because of less extreme temperatures. However, they are prone to "fluing' if they are subjected to a cold front without adequate shelter. Hogs need shelter if they are going to be healthy. They especially need protection from the wind. Ground temperature is still 60 degrees and if you add wind chill to that, it is too cold. Some old timers may argue, but today's hogs are generally leaner than 50 years ago and they're not as cold-hardy.

Answer 2

Pigs keep warm by growing a thick layer of fat and fur that insulates their bodies. They also huddle together in groups to share body heat and create warmth. Additionally, pigs are able to regulate their body temperature by finding shelter from cold weather.
