| Summary, etc. | A study was conducted to assess the effect of water sprinkling In summer on the productive adaptability of halothane sensitive pigs. Twenty-four weaned castrated crossbred male piglets were randomly selected after screening for halothane sensitivity. Twelve piglets, six halothane positive and six halothane negative pigs were sprinkled with water during hot hours of the day .. The other twelve were treated as controls. The relative incidence of halothane sensitivity observed was 57.5%. The halothane positive sprinkled pigs had advantage over the other three treatment groups in feed conversion efficiency, resulting in least cost of production for this group. The cost of production per kilogram live body weight in halothane positive sprinkled pigs, positive non-sprinkled, negative sprinkled and negative non-sprinkled pigs were Rs.41.87, Rs.43.95, Rs.47.17 and Rs.48.73 respectively. Thus, the rearing of halothane positive pigs with water sprinkling proved relatively more profitable. Halothane positive pigs had a lower daily feed intake than the negative groups. Sprinkling with water had no statistically significant effect on the physiological parameters, body weights, average daily gain, body measurements, behavioural characteristics and carcass traits of the animals. Even though the differences between the treatments in the behavioural characteristics were non-significant, the number of aggressive encounters, the frequency of defecation and the quantity of dung voided were highest for the halothane positive non-sprinkled pigs. The overall results obtained during the course of the study are the unit cost of production was less for halothane positive animals with environmental enrichment by sprinkling. |
