Descrição

A first ‘Glossary and Basic Definitions’ report has been prepared within the framework of Working Group ‘Animal Housing in Hot Climate’ established under CIGR Technical Section II. It aims at setting-up uniformity in terms associated with Animal Housing, serve as a focal point for the development of useful new terms and definitions and become a useful tool for all those involved in the subject. It includes terms from Engineering, Thermal Biology and Environmental Physiology and can eventually become a background document for opening-up further discussions on the meaning of various terms used in ‘Animal Housing’
