Optimizing Heating Costs in Grower-Finisher
By S.P. Lemay and L. Chénard and published by the Prairie Swine Center - Livestock production under cold climate requires control systems that provide a healthy environment for animals and workers without wasting energy. Most of the control systems that have been and are being used in swine facilities are controlled by temperature, relying on a constant minimum ventilation rate (MVR) for relative humidity (RH) and contaminant control during the cold season.
