Description

The important management techniques of the most successful pig producers today are made available in this textbook through the practical advice of an award-winning pig consultant. The book describes and analyzes likely future developments and how they might fit into the economic scene—incorporating a unique econometric (cost-effective) interpretation in addition to research and field trial performance results. The groundbreaking “Business Management” section is based on the experience of advising on some 3,500 pig farms across 32 countries and is just one of the many in-depth features of this essential guide.
