Abstract excerpt

The lower critical temperature (Tcr) and thermoregulatory heat production below Tcr were studied in Norwegian Landrace (N), Finnish Landrace (F), Dutch Landrace (D), and Great Yorkshire (Y) barrows. Animals, weighing 26 kg at the start, were kept in groups for 18, 2-d periods in climate respiration chambers at environmental temperatures (Tenv) between 11 and 26 degrees C. Feeding level of animals in a group was...
