Like its predecessor, this publication is written for students and
those professionals who choose to work at the sharp end of the pig
industry and are driven by a desire to improve the environment that
farmers provide for pigs. The authors describe proven monitoring
techniques which can also interpret data and automatically
implement adjustments to environment control systems. Readers are
led through a series of case studies from commercial pig farms.
Explanations of the source of problems within pig buildings are
provided and augmented by graphical data which are explained in
simple terms. In particular, the book makes much reference to I.T.
devices already in use within other industries and speculates how
these will be increasingly used to help pig farmers integrate more
closely with their food chain partners.
