Cell mediated immunity responses were lower under the constant heat stress as well as when the temperature was lowered to a thermal neutral temperature for only 4 hours daily. Daily cooling to thermal neutral for 4, 8, or 16 hours improved growth performance. Antibody responses were not altered by temperature fluctuations.SwineFluctuating hot temperaturesPeformanceImmunityEffect of fluctuating hot temperatures on performance and immunity in finishing pigs.Conference paper
