Farm animals are sources of meat, milk and eggs for the humans, and animal health ensures the quality and security of these agricultural and sideline products. The animal raising conditions in livestock stations and poultry houses play vital roles in both animal health and production. One of the major factors affecting raising conditions, relative humidity, has not received much attention even though it is important for animal husbandry. In this review, we summarize the impacts of relative humidity on animal health and welfare to draw attention for its importance in the improvement of animal raising conditions in the future.
农场动物是人类肉、奶和蛋的来源，动物健康确保了这些农副产品的质量和安全。畜牧站和禽舍的饲养条件对动物健康和生产都起着至关重要的作用。影响饲养条件的主要因素之一——相对湿度，尽管对畜牧业很重要，但却没有得到太多关注。在这篇综述中，我们总结了相对湿度对动物健康和福利的影响，以引起人们对其在未来改善动物饲养条件方面重要性的关注。
