Abstract: The pig industry is one of the mainstay industries of China's agriculture and rural economy. As the core component of pig farms, production performance of sows are the key factors for determining the economic benefits of pig farms. China is the largest pig breeding country in the world, and the number of breeding sows and commercial pigs are more than 50% of the world’s total. However, compared with developed countries, sows feeding management level is low in our country, and there is still a large gap in production performance. The performance of sows in practical production is affected by many factors, including nutrient intake, body characteristics, feeding environment, parity of sows, etc. Thermal environment is one of the major factors affecting the health and production performance of sows. The warm environment consists of temperature, relative humidity, air flow, radiation, and heat transfer. These factors work together on the animal to make them feel cold or hot and comfortable or not. The suitable thermal environment is conducive to ensuring the sows’ health and improving their production performance. Conversely, the unsuitable warm environment will cause heat stress in sows, destroy the body heat balance, and even lead production stop, make the body enters a pathological state, cause illness and ultimately death. Therefore, mastering the warm environment requirements of sows and adopting effective control measures are essential to improve the performance of sows and the economic benefits of pig farms. This paper reviewed the effects of warm environment on sows and the corresponding regulation techniques, aiming to provide theoretical basis and technical support for the regulation of thermal environment in pig production and management in China. (1) The effects of the warm environment on the sow are mainly reflected in changes of behavior, physiology and production performance. In terms of behavior, sows will be thermally adjusted by changing the behavioral posture, such as increasing the lying time, reducing the standing and prone time in hot environment. Because the contact area of the sows' body surface with the ground is larger when the side is lying, and the heat dissipation of the body can be increased, but frequent changes in sows’ posture will increase the piglet death rate. In the aspect of physiology, sows will reduce metabolic heat production and increase heat dissipation by reducing feed intake, increasing respiration rate and skin blood flow during heat stress, while promoting the adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol in the blood of sows, thyroxine dropped and insulin sensitivity increased. These physiological changes will destroy the endocrine and energy balance of the sow, leading to early embryo death, miscarriage and milk production reduction. In terms of production performance, heat stress adversely affects the performance of sow estrus interval, litter size and lactation. Heat stress mainly affects the re-service rate and litter size at pre-pregnancy and in late pregnancy mainly affects the number of live births and stillbirths. After parturition, heat stress mainly affects the survival rate of piglets. High ambient temperature adversely affects the performance of weaned piglets by affecting the lactation of sows, and heat stress can delay the weaning-to-estrus interval by affecting the feed intake, weight loss and hormone secretion of sows. (2) Thermal environment control technology of sows mainly includes overall cooling and partial cooling of the pig house. The Pad and Fan evaporative cooling system is the representative of the overall cooling of pig house. In the system, the negative pressure inside the house is caused by the exhaust of the fan, forcing the unsaturated air outside the house to flow through the wet porous curtain, causing the evaporation of water to absorb a large amount of latent heat, thereby reducing the temperature inside pig house. The system has the advantages of simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The local cooling of the pig house is mainly for the temperature control of the lying area floor, pig pens on both sides and upper part of the pig pens. The main methods include air duct evaporative cooling, cold water cover cooling, floor cooling, etc. These methods have the advantages of obvious cooling effect and energy saving.
