Heat stress is coming. Be prepared.

As temperatures rise, intake, hydration, and performance are all at risk. And by the time you see the impact, cows are already behind.

Now is the time to review your heat stress plan and make sure hydration support is ready.

Do not wait for the first hot day. Prepare today.

Did you know pigs naturally explore with their noses first?

Rooting is not random. It is how pigs investigate their environment, reduce stress, and establish social order.

When behavior changes, intake and performance often follow.

What is one pig behavior you watch closely in your barns?

Spring looks different on every farm.🌱

For some, it is mud season. For others, it is green pastures starting to show. No matter what it looks like, this season brings change and opportunity.

Drop a photo of what spring looks like on your farm right now in the comments. We would love to see it.

It is rare that just one stressor impacts immunity. Weaning, environmental transitions, and pathogen exposure layer all build over time.

When pigs are under constant immune demand, nutrients shift away from growth and performance. Even low level challenges can quietly reduce consistency and efficiency.

Support immune resilience so pigs stay on track and use nutrients more efficiently.

When post-wean pigs hit the barn, the clock starts ticking, and the first 72 hours can make or break the entire turn.

Pigs don’t automatically go looking for feed, they start with water. If water access is limited or flow rates are off, intake drops and stress builds quickly.

Set them up for success early:
✔️ Ensure easy access to clean water
✔️ Make feed simple to find
✔️ Keep the environment warm and dry

During that first week, walk pens daily and watch closely for fall-behind pigs, those slow to rise, slow to eat or drink, or lingering along pen walls.

Identify them early, pull them if needed, and provide extra support. Simple strategies like gruel or mat feeding can make a big difference in getting them started.

👉 The small details early on lead to stronger results at the end of the turn.

The first 24 hours after transport matter more than most people realize.

Transport is a major stress event. Hydration shifts. Intake drops. The immune system is challenged before cattle ever step off the trailer.

That first day after arrival is a critical adjustment period. Cattle are rehydrating, reestablishing intake, and adapting to a new environment.

What happens in this window sets the tone for recovery and performance.

In agriculture, every day is decision day.

Support a fresh cow or wait.
Step in during a tough weaning or let it play out.
Adjust for weather or hope it holds.

The small management choices made every day shape intake, health, and performance long before results show up on paper.

On National Ag Day, we recognize the people who make those calls. The ones who watch closely, act early, and do the work that keeps animals moving forward.

We are proud to stand alongside the producers who power agriculture.

Weaning can change everything.

New feed. New pen. New social order. It is a lot for young pigs, and stress during this window can quickly disrupt intake and gut health.

How pigs are supported at weaning influences resilience and consistency later on.

Support them early. Build robustness that lasts.

Hydration has layers.

It is more than water in the tank. Electrolytes, absorption, and balance all matter.

When stress, weather shifts, or intake changes happen, hydration demands rise and performance can slip.

Strategic hydration support helps dairy cows maintain balance and stay on track when conditions are not ideal.

Ever walk into a farrowing room and feel the dampness in the air?

Moisture might seem harmless, but in early pig environments it creates ideal conditions for bacterial growth. And newborn baby pigs are at their most vulnerable when surfaces stay wet.

When floors and pigs dry quickly, pathogen pressure drops and baby pigs have a better chance to get up, get warm, and start drinking sooner.

That is where Tech Dry+ comes in. It is designed not only to absorb moisture quickly, but also to support a cleaner, more hygienic farrowing environment from the start.

Improving environmental hygiene is not complicated. It starts with managing moisture on day one.
