'...individual chapters provide very thorough, up-to-date reviews
of health and welfare of pigs during different stages of
production...The health section does a good job of summarizing the
current major disease challenges facing pig production...If you
want up-to-date reviews on some of the most pressing welfare issues
in different stages of production, there are some good chapters
included.' Animal Welfare 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 at
animal health and welfare. Part 1 reviews the main diseases
affecting pigs as well as ways of managing diseases and boosting
pig immune function. Part 2 reviews what we know about pig
behaviour and appropriate welfare standards. It also assesses the
welfare of different groups of pigs, from gilts and sows to weaned
piglets and finishing pigs, as well as transport, lairage and
slaughter. 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 safety, quality and sustainability
as well as animal breeding and nutrition.
