Although this is a technical publication, it is written for students and professionals who choose to operate at the ‘sharp end’ and want to understand and enjoy pigs and enhance pig comfort with the help of applied science. The book aims to help both pig people and engineers obtain a better grasp of the key components of the pig environment and establish some common ground. It nurtures an attitude of continuous improvement that will not only better the lot of pigs and pig people but also increase the likelihood of improved consumer satisfaction and sustained profitability.
The authors, although academically trained, have years of experience communicating directly with pig farmers and helping them to make the most cost-effective decisions regarding pig environment enhancement.
