Effect of temperature level on thermal acclimation in Large White growing pigs

The effect of temperature level (24°C, 28°C, 32°C or 36°C) on performance and thermoregulatory response in growing pigs during acclimation to high ambient temperature was studied on a total of 96 Large White barrows. Pigs were exposed to 24°C for 10 days (days −10 to −1, P0) and thereafter to a cons...
