Trade off between thermal comfort and pollutant (ammonia) exposure in pigs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Extract
The thermal insulation of pigs (Sus scrofa) is considered poor (Mount and Ingram, 1965) as they do not have a thick coat and have a variable subcutaneous fat thickness. Ventilation rates in animal houses are often reduced in colder weather to maintain an optimal thermal environment. However this may fail to remove atmospheric pollutants (e.g. Menses, 1987).
