Even though India has huge pig population but still there is lack of knowledge towards the best management practices of pig farming.

In dairy and Poultry sector various approaches are made to reduce the impact of heat stress especially by manipulating diet with substitutes which can control or eliminate heat stress. Alphacool is one such product marketed by Alphafacts health solution BVBA which claimed to be effective in Heat stress.
