Many thermal indices have been developed and some applied with pigs, including THI, BGHI, ET, and H.
“Over the past decades, many indices have been developed in the assessment of thermal environment, and some have been applied with pigs, such as the temperature-humidity index (THI) [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16], the globe-humidity index (BGHI) [17,18], the effective temperature (ET) [19,20] and the enthalpy (H) [21].”

The formula of Equation (2) used in this study is based on the observations of Thom that the changes in the sum of Td and Tw follow a similar pattern as changes in the effective temperature under the same conditions.

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.
