Article Synopsis
- Light-skinned pig breeds, like Yorkshire and Landrace, need protection from solar UVR to prevent sunburn, which is crucial for their health.
- A study used a life-sized plastic Landrace pig model with UVR meters to assess how different shade cloths (50%, 75%, and 90% shade rates) protect against UV exposure.
- Results showed that shade cloths significantly reduce UVR exposure, with higher shade rates providing better protection, which helps identify risk areas for sunburn in pigs.
