Summary:

This study was conducted to determine the effects of temperature and space allocation on growth performance and carcass characteristics. This is because managing stressors is essential for optimizing pig growth performance. The results show decreased growth, carcass lipid quality, as well as bacon quality when pigs were housed at temperatures above their thermoneutral zone (32.2¡ãC). It was also concluded that increasing spacial allocation for housing will improve the negative effects of temperature stress.
