Abstract
Temperatures and relative humidity are known to impact the growth of pigs (Zumbach et al. 2008) which are often combined in a temperature humidity index. For farming purposes, a reliable approach is needed to quantify the effects of temperature and RH on performance of pigs. The aim of this study was to determine the best time period for measurement of temperature and relative humidity for estimating their effects on growth of finishing pigs.
