Impacts of evaporative pad cooling on finishing pig performance
Cool cell pads improved pig well-being by providing more cooling than sprinklers but pig performance was unaffected.
The best conditions for baiting wild pigs
Drier conditions substantially increased the use of bait sites by wild pigs.
Effect of conductive cooling pads on heat and moisture production of gilts in hot and thermoneutral environments
Conductive cooling pads have the potential to cool swine under both high temperature and high humidity conditions.
Effect of pad cooling on summer barn environment and finishing pig temperature
The objective was to compare tunnel ventilated finishing barns with cool cell pads (PAD) or without (CONTROL) for barn climate and pig temperature.
Mycotoxin binders and a liquid immunity enhancer: effects on the growth performance of wean-to-finish pigs
The use of mycotoxin binders on diets with a mycotoxin concentration below the practical quantitation limit does not improve growth performance
