mance to be maximised (which is the case for settings 1 to 4, with green coloured cells), but it allows better results to be reached for all other criteria (white coloured cells) and it therefore warrants more study. ThermiPig is associated with a data warehouse platform developed by the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, with a user-friendly inter- face that facilitates entry of inputs (based on farm data, or predefined examples) required to run the model. It can be ex- pected that ThermiPig can be used as a basis to develop a de-
cision-support tool that could help stakeholders assess the sensitivity of pig farms to climate change.
