Pig meat is the most widely-consumed meat in the world. Previous
growth in production has relied, in part, on more intensive
systems. In meeting rising demand, these systems face challenges
such as the ongoing threat of zoonotic diseases, the need to
improve feed efficiency in the face of rising costs, the need to
reduce the environmental impact of pig production and increasing
concerns about animal welfare. This volume looks first at the main
zoonoses affecting pigs and how they can be controlled. It then
reviews the latest research on aspects of meat quality such as
flavour, colour, texture and nutritional quality. Finally, it
assesses ways of monitoring and reducing the environmental impact
of pig production. With its distinguished editor and international
team of expert authors, this will be a standard reference for
researchers in swine science, producers, government and other
organisations involved in supporting pig production. It is
accompanied by two companion volumes which focus on animal
breeding, nutrition, health and welfare.
