By Larry D. Jacobson, Minnesota University Extension Agricultural Engineer - Environmentally controlled facilities for housing pigs require ventilating systems which control the moisture and heat produced by the animals as well as maintain acceptable indoor air quality from contaminants produced from the manure, feed, and the pigs themselves.This article looks at the principles of mechanical ventilation and the application of these principles to the design of systems for pig facilities (Minnesota focus).
