is a discussion on light. The recommendation is to have 150-200 lux in the late GDU and service unit. When walking about in the units mentioned, the estimate of light is always close to 100 lux but when using a lux meter or a HOBO, often a light density is recorded of between 11 and 40 lux and with 12-14 hours dark- ness per day. There are cheaper ways to provide light today, LED cords can be bought cheaply and they are easy to hang up and provide plenty of light. There are farms with a continuous gestation snake where the
wean row moves every week. It is a large investment if there is to be bought light for the entire gestation. In these cases a team of Carthage & MHJ Consulting goes in and establishes a new gesta- tion snake with the designated wean row, opportunity row, park- ing row and normal gestation snake. This way the farm only needs to provide extra light for the wean and opportunity rows, if the rest of the barn has enough light. A side effect of changing the snake strategy is that there is much less movement of sows during gestation, saving labour.
