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’engAnimal housingHot climateconference object
