Product Description

Review

This book is a necessity for those seriously interested in the economic future of the swine industry.

R.D.Glock, DVM, PhD, Director
University of Arizona Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory

Product Description

Multi–site Pig Production is the first comprehensive description of the most profound changes that have occurred in swine production methodology in many years. Dr Harris is singularly qualified to write this book because he has played a pivotal role in the development of multi–site rearing techniques that are being applied throughout the world.

This book provides final definition for a variety of terms being used to describe swine production methods. A standardised nomenclature facilitates more accurate future interactions between participants in swine production systems that involve multiple sites, buildings, and rooms with different age groups and functions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Multi-Site Pig Production, 15 May 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Multi-site Pig Production (Hardcover)

D.L. Harris has summarized the advantages and challenges associated with multi-site production in an easy to comprehend manner. This book will provide readers of the science of disease transfer, weaning ages required to utilize the system to lower cost, and provide targets that the industry needs to remain competitive in the future. Dr. Harris shows the "sytematic" approach to making multi-site production successful and includes all aspects of the "flow" that must be adapted to making the system work. Bits and pieces or partial application may ad some benefit but a complete follow through will provide optimum results.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required reading, 23 July 2001

By Nora Jean Frailly - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Multi-site Pig Production (Hardcover)

Multi-site swine production volumes represent a sine qua non of 20th century animal husbandry achievement. Differentiating the techniqes applied to cattle or any other ungulates. Whilst at Cornell, I had the good fortune to hear Dr. Harris speak, and this book reflects both the intellect and the ability to convey information that one appreciates when attending a lecture. For me, the academic study of this topic is fulfilling on a number of levels, from the dry but necessary scientific research and publication, to the earthy warmth one feels in the pen, I share the attachment of Dr. Harris to this subject, and post-doc, intend to make it my life's work. Bravo Dr. Harris!
