  3. Impact of Monitoring - 1 Quantified Impact Before After Annual

    Saving Annual Heating Cost £13,165 £4,288 £8,877 Cost per pig produced £1.27 £0.41 £0.86 kWh per pig produced 14.4 4.7 9.7 Tonnes CO2 per year 81 26 55T Cost <£4,000 Non-quantified benefits Easier Management. Better temperatures. Improved welfare Cause of improvement Feedback of conditions and running costs leading to improved management of ventilation rates
