Environmental-induced hyperthermia compromises efficient animal production and
jeopardizes animal welfare. Reduced productive output during heat stress was traditionally …

Pig production faces seasonal fluctuations. The low farrowing rate of sows mated in summer,
increased carcass fatness of progeny born to the sows mated in summer, and slower growth …

High ambient temperature (T) is one of the most important climatic factors influencing pig
performance. Increased T occurs sporadically during summer heat waves in temperate …

Heat stress compromises efficient animal production by marginalizing nutrition,
management, and genetic selection efforts to maximize performance endpoints. Modifying …

The use of lytic bacteriophages for the biocontrol of food-borne pathogens in food and in the
food industry is gaining increasing acceptance. In this study, the effectiveness of a …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Oxidative stress may play a role in
compromising intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in pigs subjected to heat stress, but it is …

This article deals with carbon dioxide production from farm animals; more specifically, it
addresses the possibilities of using the measured carbon dioxide concentration in animal …

Simple Summary Heat stress triggers behavioural and physiological response and thus
negatively affects productivity in livestock. Among farm species, pigs are especially …

There is a comprehensive body of literature on how increased air temperature affects the
physiology, production and behaviour of sows, while very few studies consider the thermal …

Due to the rapid development of modern livestock husbandry, the effectiveness and energy
efficiency of cooling systems used in farming buildings have come to the public's attention …
