Intelligent heating lamps for pigs leverage the advantages of precision temperature control and intelligent management to effectively increase piglet survival rates and reduce breeding costs, making them one of the core heating equipment in modern pig farms.
I. Core Features
The intelligent temperature control function of intelligent heating lamps for pigs is a key highlight. It can automatically adjust the temperature according to different growth stages of pigs without frequent manual intervention, ensuring precise and stable temperature control. It performs exceptionally well in energy saving, with energy efficiency up to 46% higher than traditional heating methods, significantly reducing energy consumption costs for long-term use. The remote management function simplifies breeding operations – users can remotely turn the lamps on/off and adjust the temperature via a mobile APP, allowing real-time control of the heating status even when away from the pig farm. Safety and durability are highly valued: products generally adopt waterproof and explosion-proof designs such as IP54 protection rating, paired with metal protective nets to effectively cope with the humid environment of pig houses, avoiding risks like scalds and fires. The service life usually exceeds 5000 hours, reducing the frequency of equipment replacement.
II. Temperature Requirements for Different Growth Stages
A core advantage of intelligent heating lamps is their ability to automatically adjust according to scientific temperature curves, meeting the temperature needs of piglets at different growth stages. Piglets in the lactation period have weak temperature regulation capabilities and the highest temperature requirements: 32℃ to 34℃ on the first day, maintained at 30℃ to 32℃ from day 1 to 3, adjusted to 28℃ to 32℃ from day 4 to 7, lowered to 26℃ to 28℃ from day 8 to 14, and stabilized at 24℃ to 26℃ from day 15 to 21. After entering the nursery period, the suitable temperature for day 22 to 35 is 24℃. For the finishing period starting from day 35 and beyond, the temperature only needs to be no lower than 18℃. Intelligent heating lamps can accurately follow this temperature change law, providing an optimal environment for piglet growth.
III. How to Choose the Right Intelligent Heating Lamp
Selecting intelligent heating lamps for pigs requires comprehensive consideration from multiple dimensions based on actual breeding needs. Power selection is not about the higher the better, but matching the breeding scenario. For example, the rated power of Sven 垦’s SSH100 model is 175W, and relevant studies have shown that this power helps reduce piglet crushing incidents. Large-scale pig farms can choose intelligent models that support batch management to improve operational efficiency; small and medium-sized farmers are better suited for models with basic temperature control and timing functions, which offer higher cost-effectiveness. In terms of core functions, intelligent control is a top priority – prioritize products that support remote control via mobile APP, or those with automatic temperature sensing and the ability to adjust temperature curves according to days of age, as these can greatly reduce management workload. Safety is the bottom line: pig houses are humid, so be sure to choose products with high protection levels (IP44 or higher is recommended), and confirm they have explosion-proof designs and metal protective nets to effectively prevent scalds and fire risks. The lampshade material affects equipment durability – high-quality products usually adopt aluminum alloy lampshades and thickened explosion-proof glass, balancing safety and service life. Additional functions can be selected as needed: some high-end models integrate data recording and analysis functions, and can even link with other equipment such as ventilation and supplementary lighting to achieve more comprehensive environmental management, making them suitable for pig farms with high requirements for refined breeding.
IV. Usage Notes and Recommendations
Correct installation and use are crucial to ensuring intelligent heating lamps perform at their best. During installation, the recommended hanging height is between 60cm and 90cm – too low may scald piglets, while too high will cause heat dispersion and affect heating efficiency. Lamp wiring must be standardized to avoid excessively long or messy lines, preventing potential safety hazards such as short circuits and electric leakage. During use, adopt a stepwise temperature adjustment method, gradually lowering the set temperature as piglets grow, which aligns with their temperature needs during growth and development. If conditions permit, install an insulation cover in the thermal insulation area to effectively reduce heat loss, further lower energy consumption, and improve heating efficiency.
