⚠️ WEATHER ALERT FOR PIG FARMERS ⚠️

With forecasts indicating increased rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds across sections of Jamaica this weekend, pig farmers are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to protect their animals and facilities.

Before the weather worsens:
✔ Check pens and shelters for weak areas.
✔ Clear drains and water channels around pig houses.
✔ Store feed in a dry, elevated location.
✔ Ensure pigs have access to clean drinking water.
✔ Move animals away from low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.

Taking a few preventive steps today can help reduce losses and keep your herd safe during periods of severe weather.

Stay alert. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

As we rise early this Saturday morning to head to our respective pig pens, let us keep a close eye on the health of our piglets and know the warning signs to look out for 🐖⚠️

Coccidiosis is a serious condition that can quickly affect young piglets, leading to diarrhea, dehydration, poor growth, and even death if not treated early.

Clean pens, proper sanitation, dry bedding, good water supply, and early treatment can make a major difference in protecting your herd and improving farm productivity.

Healthy piglets today mean stronger farms tomorrow 👏🏾
