Pigs who drink such water are more likely to have diarrhea. Farmers need to incur expenses to purify the water before using it. And some areas encountered drought problems to the point where they had to buy water for use on farms and give it to pigs to drink. which in the month of this coming This problem will become more apparent. Almost every farmer is required to purchase water for use every year. At the same time, important diseases in pigs still exist. Both ongoing problems from African Swine Fever (ASF) and Porcine Contagious Diarrhea (PED) are common during this season. This problem is causing quite a bit of damage in the pig farming industry. 'Both weather problems and pig diseases still exist. This causes the loss rate on farms to be as high as 30-40%, while the cost of raising small farmers in the northern region is as high as 82-85 baht per kilogram. The national average cost of raising small-scale farmers is 79-80 baht per kilogram. But if there is poor disease prevention management The cost will definitely increase to more than 80 baht per kilogram, especially with the additional burden in the case of having to buy water for use. This is in contrast to the average farm-gate price of pigs which is still depressed at an average of only 58 - 64 baht per kilogram. This may cause farmers to decide to stop raisin g them,' Mr. Suntaraporn said.

Eating less food due to stress As a result, chickens grow slowly. Takes longer to raise The morbidity and mortality rates have increased to 5% at present. Farmers need to reduce the amount of farming so that it is not too dense. And to adjust the climate in the greenhouse, you must turn on water to nourish the cooling system and turn on the ventilation fan at all times. Electricity costs therefore increase. Causes humidity and ammonia gas in the greenhouse. Affecting animal health 'Chickens do not have sweat glands that help with cooling. If the chickens are exposed to hot weather This will cause the chickens to face heat stress, which will have problems digesting food and absorbing nutrients. cause slower growth Growth efficiency decreased accordingly. Waste of time and increased cost of raising. and preparing sufficient clean w ater for use must increase the cost of adjusting water quality and supplement with vitamins to help stimulate water intake These factors increase the cost of raising per farmer. The average cost is now as high as 41-42 baht per kilogram. and the trend will be higher,' Mr. Somboon said. Meanwhile, in the laying poultry sector, farmers are equally affected by the hot weather problem. Especially chickens are animals that do not have sweat glands to help with cooling. and being covered with fur is an obstacle to heat escaping from the body. It causes the hens to eat less food. Drink more water To help reduce heat in the body Hens experience accumulated stress. And eating little food makes the nutrients not enough to create egg foam. The egg production has decreased. Egg egg size becomes smaller The selling price is lower. Therefore, income decreased as well. Meanwhile, the rate of damage from broken eggs in the womb increased. Farmers therefore have higher costs from a smaller denominator. and must also bear the burden of increasing electricity costs To be used for cooling to help reduce the temperature in the house throughout the day.
