What is a common indicator of swine health?

  1. High feed intake

  2. Low body temperature

  3. Shiny coat

  4. Lack of movement

The correct answer is: Shiny coat

A shiny coat in swine is a common indicator of good health and overall well-being. When pigs are healthy, their skin produces natural oils that result in a smooth and glossy appearance of their coat. This shininess is often indicative of proper nutrition, adequate hydration, and a lack of disease or stress. In contrast, a dull or rough coat can signal health issues or poor nutrition. Therefore, observing the condition of a pig's coat plays a significant role in assessing its health status. Recognizing a shiny coat as a positive indicator can help producers ensure their pigs are thriving and prompt any necessary interventions when health issues are suspected.
