Popis:	The necessity to set minimum space allowances for confined animals has become more urgent as economic pressures have forced the use of increasingly intensive housing. This paper proposes that 50% of body surface area be adopted as a minimum space allowance for confined pigs and cattle. Body surface areas by weight classification have been provided in graph form. Key words: Space requirement, density, welfare, swine, cattle
