Environmental monitoring - theory, common practice and best practice * The impact of stocking density - pigs generates heat and increasingly need space * Data interpretation - making the most of environmental monitoring * Temperature monitoring - a good starting point for fine-tuning the pig environment * Ventilation - the ultimate practical compromise * Feed and water - always needed but rarely measured * The consequences of excessive temperature build-up * I.T. - the global driver of future pig production *Index
