A model to adapt pig buildings to climate
Hotter summers and colder winters can both impair pig production. As a result, pig house designs which once used to be suitable are now being questioned. Adaptations in terms of barn structure, equipment and management need to be evaluated. In the PigSys project, IFIP and INRAE scientists developed a model-based tool for such multicriteria evaluation. Ambient conditions (temperature, hygrometry) have a major influence on grow-finishing pig performance. Due to genetic selection for leaner animal
