Pigs lack active sweat glands.
“pigs are more vulnerable to high ambient temperature because they lack active sweat glands.”
From A two-node mechanistic thermophysiological model for pigs reared in hot climates – Part 1: Physiological responses and model development (2021) · cites this paper as Fox et al., 2014
Pigs cannot release heat through sweat evaporation and only very limited water content can diffuse from the skin surface to the surrounding air.
“They are therefore not able to release heat through sweat evaporation (Fox et al., 2014; Huynh et al., 2005) and only very limited water content can be diffused from the skin surface to the surrounding air.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
