Organic animal production has increased rapidly in recent years to
keep up with the increasing consumer demand for organic meats.
There are many guidelines and restrictions on what should go into
the feedstuffs of organically farmed animals, from which
difficulties arise when trying to ensure a well-balanced,
nutritious diet without the use of any supplements. This second
edition of Robert Blair's classic and bestselling book on the
nutrition and feeding of organic pigs presents comprehensive advice
that includes: - formulating appropriate diets and integrating them
into organic pig production systems; - international standards of
organic feeding; - feed-related disease incidence in organic herds.
The book has been completely updated and revised to address how to
formulate organic diets in situations where there is a declining
supply of organic feed, as well as the feasibility of utilizing
novel feedstuffs and their acceptability by consumers of organic
meat products. Including the experiences of producers in relation
to appropriate breeds and production systems for forage-based
organic production, this book is an important read for researchers
and students of organic food animal production, veterinary sciences
and food; as well as food industry personnel and organic farmers.
