Project description

The overall goal of this project is to draw up a heat stress plan for Flemish pig farming by providing effective, practical, technically and economically feasible measures that can be applied in the pig house and during transport. In addition, we want to increase practical knowledge among pig farmers and transporters about visible and less visible impacts of heat stress
to maximise the implementation of effective measures.
