CANADA - Research conducted on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc indicates the use of a supplemental fan bank ventilation system when swine transport vehicles are sitting stationary, enhances the effectiveness of water sprinkling in regulating the body temperature of the pigs, writes Bruce Cochrane.As part research being conducted on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc, scientists are evaluating the effect of vibration during transport on swine behavior and the effectiveness of micro climate control in improving pig comfort when swine transports are sitting stationary.Dr Luigi Faucitano, a meat scientist with the Dairy and Swine Research and Development Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, says, one objective is to determine the effectiveness of a supplemental fan bank ventilation system placed outside the stationary truck on the farm after loading or at the plant before unloading, in response to a previous study which assessed water sprinkling to cool pigs. 布鲁斯·科克伦写道，据生猪创新项目(Swine Innovation Porc)的科学家研究显示，当生猪运输卡车停泊在某个地点时，使用附带的风扇组通风系统，能够增强喷水技术在调节生猪体温过程中的效果。作为以生猪创新项目为代表研究的一部分，科学家正在评估运输晃动对生猪行为表现的影响，和当生猪运输车辆停泊时，微天气调节对猪舒适度的改善效果。加拿大农业及农业食品部乳制品与生猪研究发展中央肉类研究科学家Luigi Faucitano博士说：“为了针对先前的一项研究，即评估喷水对猪降温的效果。我们的一个目标就是断定卡车外部安置的附带风扇组通风系统在卡车装载尽成后停泊农场时，又或者在卸载之前停泊屠宰场时，会对先前研究产生怎样的效果。”
