Description: The Health of Pigs is a 'state of the art' reference work on the health and welfare of pigs, comprising a series of chapters by leading authorities in the field. It surveys the relationships between management systems and pig health and shows how productivity and profitability can be maximised through an integrated approach to welfare. With many health problems stemming from inadequacies in husbandry, The Health of Pigs also considers the fundamental principles of economic pig husbandry. The Health of Pigs is an essential resource for veterinary clinicians and practitioners, professionals in the pig industry, government advisers and students of agriculture or veterinary science.
