Abstract: The interior of a pigsty is a nonlinear system formed by multiple interacting environmental factors, making it challenging to reasonably and accurately assess the environmental comfort levels. To address this, we propose an environmental comfort evaluation index based on livestock farming standards. By combining the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method (EWM), we determine the weights of each evaluation index. Finally, the evaluation results are visualized using radar charts, and the model is validated. We apply this model to monitor and analyze environmental factors in a fattening pigsty at a farm in Central Jilin Province. The results demonstrate that the AHP-EWM multi-factor comprehensive evaluation method effectively reflects overall environmental comfort variations in the pigsty and captures interactions among environmental factors across different time periods. This study establishes a methodological foundation for comprehensive pigsty environmental assessment, precision control, and enhanced environmental comfort.
