Modern farms have computer-controlled systems that are adjusted automatically to optimise the environment depending on the stage of growth or reproduction, based on ideal temperature curves established from research and models. For example, for growing pigs, temperature needs to decrease by set amounts as they increase in body weight (Table 1). **Fill in and submit the form to download our full article on environmental temperature curve **to ensure the correct growth curve is selected in any automated system to account for breed, age and health of the animals. ![](https://go.alltech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pig%20Knowledge%20Hub/Recommeded%20temperature.png?width=649&height=331&name=Recommeded%20temperature.png "Recommeded temperature.png") ©2025 Alltech.
