Feed represents the single greatest expense associated with
bringing pigs to market weight. Therefore, if you can reduce the
cost of feeding without detriment to pig performance, the economics
of swine production will improve. The ingredient list for swine
rations has become fairly limited, and the majority of diets fed to
pigs consist of a few staples, such as corn, wheat, barley, and
soybean meal. Non-Traditional Feeds for Use in Swine Production
explores over fifty non-traditional feedstuffs in terms of their
nutritional content and their viability as alternative, cost
effective food sources

health maintenance. Treatment options are discussed, emphasizing a
reduction in antimicrobial use and an increased awareness of a
holistic approach to treatment. The book includes over 1,500
high-quality illustrations to enhance the clinical description, as
well as a wealth of high-quality videos to test the reader in
