Popis:	A comparison of drip cooling vs. wetted-pad evaporative cooling was performed on 61 sows over three farrowings. There were no significant differences between cooling methods for piglet weight gain, percentage of piglets weaned or sow weight loss. There was a significant difference in respiration rates between cooling methods. Respiration rate was a function of wet-bulb depression.
