VENTILATION FOR VETS: ENVIRONMENT FOR PIGS – CAN WE GET IT RIGHT?
H.G.CRABTREE

Abstract
Getting the environment right can be based on consultation, modelling or measurement. Available technology makes the empirical method – change through observation – practical in pig production. Observation over the last 15 years indicates clearly that negative events are frequent, that normality turns out to be variable and, above all, the people who are operating the systems of production are the most influential in determining success or failure. The focus of the paper is the housed, growing pig, mechanically ventilated. The author mainly uses description rather than mathematics to deal with the subject.
