Temperatures Within a Truck Transporting Pigs During Winter and Summer Months in Western Canada
This study investigated the temperatures within a truck transporting pigs in western
Canada, during summer and winter months. Pigs were transported from PSC
Elstow Research Farm, and involved approximately 8 hours of travel to the Maple
Leaf plant in Brandon. The temperature conditions pigs were exposed to during
transport varied considerably between seasons and among compartments within
the vehicle, and pigs were exposed to temperatures as low as -15 °C or as high as
30 °C.
