Smith, L. P. and Allen, W. M., 1976. A study of the weather conditions related to the death of pigs during and after their transportation in England. Agric. Meteorol., 16: 115--124.
Analysis of data concerning the death of pigs during and after transport to two abattoirs in England suggests that the rate of increase of deaths with increase in daytime temperature can be described by a hyperbolic curve. The number of deaths is small below o . . O .
10 C and increases rapidly above 18 C and the mortahty at any temperature can be predicted from the curve. Strong sunshine appears to increase the number of deaths but changes in air humidity have no effect.
