A note on the relationship between induced mechanical stress and thermal stress in recumbent pigs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Abstract
The hypothesis is proposed that pigs will induce a mechanical stress, by huddling and over-lying, that is related to the degree of thermal stress experienced. Measurements of the floor area covered by groups of 12 pigs have been used to validate the hypothesis.
