Can we face heat waves with adapted feeding strategies?

In the context of global warming, heat waves have been observed repeatedly. Adaptations of the feeding strategy have been investigated to mitigate the impact of acute heat stress events on the short and long-term performance of lactating sows and finishing pigs. Heat waves have been observed each year with an increased frequency and severity over the last decade. Under the extremely hot events observed in late spring and summer, called heat waves, most European pig farms are not equipped with s
