 This study examined the thermal characteristics of pig facilities during the growing and finishing stages, as well as the effect of different climate control systems on the behavior of the pigs. The results showed that the evaporative cooling system provided better conditions for the pigs, reducing temperatures, and increasing humidity levels. This resulted in increased ingestive activity and lethargy, which are typical behaviors during these stages.
