The UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food publishes a number of free leaflets and booklets on farm animal welfare. Two of the latest ones are on heat stress in pigs and in poultry; they describe the main causes of heat stress in these two types of animals and outline some of the common sense management measures that will help to prevent it. There is also, apparently, a training video on heat stress available at a cost of £8.25 from MAFF Publicity Video Unit, Room 26, Government Buildings, Hook Rise South, Tolworth, Surrey KT6 7NF.
