The overall goal of this project is to protect high-value pigs
during transport using a trailer with an air filtration system. A
comprehensive literature search and a survey of various information
sources on trailer filtration were conducted to identify components
of a trailer air filtration system and the various options available
for each component. Using a set of relevant design criteria, the
different options were evaluated to select the components included
in the prototype design. Presently, the proper components are
being assembled for retrofit into the prototype trailer. Remaining
steps to complete the project include prototype testing, design
optimization, and feasibility analysis.
