Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of spray cooling systems for transporting live hogs. After hog deaths and transit shrinkage during hot weather became a concern in the mid-20th century, a hog marketing company devised a simple and inexpensive water sprinkler cooling system for their truck trailers. The system consisted of a length of galvanized pipe with fittings and a garden hose. Tests conducted in 1956 revealed promising results, with the sprinkled hogs experiencing fewer deaths, lower transit shrinkage, and higher hot slaughtered yield weight. The author presents a detailed account of the test procedures, including temperature monitoring and weight measurements. Additionally, an experimental soaker hose spray system is introduced, offering potential advantages in terms of spray distribution and cost. The book concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and the potential benefits of spray cooling for reducing hog losses and improving meat quality during transport. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
