Abstract
Poor air quality is recognised as a major risk factor in the development of respiratory disease in pigs (Donham, 1991). Important parameters of air quality include the volume of air-space per pig; concentration of respirable dust and the concentration of bacteria, especially streptococcal organisms (Skirrow et al., 1995).
