"As a nutritionist I liked this book a lot. I like the setup of the
book and how it starts with the gut microbiome and works through to
the different ways to manipulate the gut bacteria, including
enzymes and different kinds of fibre. I think this is a great book
with a lot of advanced information." Dr Darlene Bloxham, Adisseo,
USA The pig production sector faces many challenges, including the
need to improve feed efficiency to reduce emissions from manure,
finding alternative methods to prevent the onset of diseases
affecting swine, as well as ensuring that the welfare of pigs is
consistent with consumer and regulatory agencies' expectations.
Understanding gut microbiomes as targets for improving gut health
offers a comprehensive coverage on the wealth of research on the
porcine gastrointestinal tract, its key role in pig health and
nutrition, as well as its implications for improving feed
efficiency and growth. This collection details how optimising the
gut microbiome can contribute to an overall improvement in pig
health. Edited by Professor Mick Bailey and Emeritus Professor
Chris Stokes, University of Bristol, UK, Understanding gut
microbiomes as targets for improving gut health will be a standard
reference text for pig/swine scientists in universities and
research centres, pig feed manufacturers, and government and
private sector agencies advising pig farmers on health and
nutrition.
