  • Title: [Microclimate parameter study in a building for the cage battery raising of small pigs].
    Author: Stoianchev T, Iliev A.
    Journal: Vet Med Nauki; 1979; 16(10):103-9. PubMed ID: 549260.
    Abstract:
    An experiment was carried out in a reconstructed building for cell-battery rearing of young pigs, heated by two petroleum calorifers. Six to eight pigs were placed in a cell in 4 row-cell batteries at two storeys. Ventilation was realized by sucking ventilators, situated along the ridge of the building. Temperature and relative air humidity were measured at 7, 14 and 21 o'clock. The gas composition and the air movement rate were periodically investigated. It was established that at temperatures in the region below 0 degrees C regime for that category of pigs cannot be maintained with the accepted heating constructions. The gas composition standards established and the rate of air movement are within the range of hygienic standards. At the level of the second cell and crosswise to the building slighter temperature differences were observed and the temperature was higher. The conclusion is made that the chosen ventilation scheme and equipment for heating do not ensure optimal and uniform temperature-moisture regime in the premises.
