Observations of the summer performance of natural cross flow ventilation, incorporating automatic control, in a wide straw bedded pig finishing house and the use of meteorological records for predicting extreme conditions

Extract
The use of Automatic Control of Natural Ventilation (ACNV) has been shown to give good temperature control in a range of circumstances [2, 3]. Information on the performance of the system in wide, solid floored, pig finishing houses under extreme climatic conditions is sparse. A study was made of a commercial pig finishing house during the hot summer of 1983. Information collected allows an assessment of the climatic conditions encountered in relation to long term meteorological records.
