| Abstract: | In intensive swine farms, stressful conditions in the climate, namely heat stress, affect animal behaviour and welfare. Pigs reared in commercial fattening housing suffer from temperature increases and from their inability to get free to refresh themselves any time they need to. The closed and dense environment further worsens this condition. |
