Simulations bioclimatiques en engraissement PIGSYS - simulations

A mechanistic, dynamic and determinist model, called ThermiPig, is used to simulate the within-room thermal balance at the room level and its consequences on the daily and individual performance of group-housed pigs. Simulation are performed over the whole fattening duration in 30 virtual batches of pigs, generated from an average animal growth profile. The overall performances of the batches of pigs are simulated under different outside conditions, depending on the regulation rules and equipment available.
