Global warming is affecting everything pigs of the world
Keywords:
pigs, stress, heatAbstract
Did you know that pigs do not sweat like humans and that due to global warming these animals have been more affected than other domestic animals? This article explains as pigs lose heat and that preventive strategies scientists have proposed to pig farmers to reduce heat in their animals.
