- Glossary and basic definitions for animal housing in hot climatesPublication . Panagakis, P.; Blanes-Vidal, V.; Barbosa, José Carlos; Banhazi, T.; Fitas da Cruz, Vasco; Maltz, E.; Berckmans, DanielA first ‘Glossary and Basic Definitions’ report has been prepared within the framework of Working Group ‘Animal Housing in Hot Climate’ established under CIGR Technical Section II. It aims at setting-up uniformity in terms associated with Animal Housing, serve as a focal point for the development of useful new terms and definitions and become a useful tool for all those involved in the subject. It includes terms from Engineering, Thermal Biology and Environmental Physiology and can eventually become a background document for opening-up further discussions on the meaning of various terms used in ‘Animal Housing’
- Glossary of terms on animal housing: interconnecting engineering, physical and physiological definitionsPublication . Panagakis, P.; Blanes-Vidal, V.; Banhazi, T.; Barbosa, José Carlos; Maltz, E.; Fitas da Cruz, Vasco; Berckmans, DanielAnimal Housing is a multidisciplinary scientific area which requires the involvement of scientists from different fields such as engineers, physicians, animal scientists, veterinarians, etc. Their collaboration requires the establishment and use of a standardized vocabulary that provides consistency and reduces misunderstandings among scientists with diverse background or Nationality. A first dictionary entitled ‘Glossary of Terms on Animal Housing: Basic Engineering, Physical and Physiological Definitions’ has been prepared by a Working Group (Animal Housing in Hot Climate) established under CIGR-Section II. The glossary made reference to Engineering, Thermal Biology and Environmental Physiology disciplines and it aimed at (1) setting-up uniformity in Animal Housing terms related to climatization and to (2) serve as a focal point for the development of valuable new terms and definitions, and become a functional tool for all those involved in this study subject. Furthermore, the glossary can eventually become a background document for opening-up further discussions on the meaning of various terms used in Animal Housing.
