Abstract
In a hot environment, the deterimental effects of heat stress
on pigs include reduced feed intake, decreased activity and
slower growth rate. Cooling systems currently used in swine
industry generally rely on increased evaporative (sprinkling
and wallowing) heat loss and are effective in improving
productivity.
