Husbandry Tips for Caribbean Pig Farms
Authors: Claude E Wilson
Formulations for the productive husbandry practices proposed in this manuscript are based on clear understanding of the nature and behaviour of pigs in terms of early growth, production capability and the conditions required for best expression.

Livestock farming systems
Authors: Edited by R. Rubino, L. Sepe, A. Dimitriadou and A. Gibon
Product quality based on local resources leading to improved sustainability
Livestock farming increasingly means much more than just food production and product quality is no longer simply synonymous with food safety and the provision of energy and protein nutrients. This book examines the variety of reasons for this shift in thinking and provides a basis for a new approach to livestock farming systems. The topical issues for product quality based on local resources are addressed from a variety of angles, including genomics, land use, the consumer preference and human nutrition.

Nutrition of Sows and Boars
Authors: W.H Close and D.J.A Cole
The central role of nutrition in the reproduction of farm animals has long been recognised. In the last two decades there have been considerable advances in our knowledge of sow and boar nutrition which has allowed the development of effective feeding strategies. Such progress will continue in order to meet the demands of ever-increasing product targets.

Nutritional approaches to arresting the decline in fertility of pigs and poultry
Authors: Edited by J.A. Taylor-Pickard and L. Nollet
Continued genetic development of pigs and poultry has been the foundation of profitable production within a competitive market. However, the challenges of these production increases have undoubtedly taken their toll on reproductive function in all breeding livestock, with the incidence of infertility increasing at an alarming rate. For example, it has recently been estimated that over 40% of sows are culled due to fertility problems, compared to just 2% with feet and leg issues.

On Farm Monitoring of Pig Welfare
Authors: Edited by: A. Velarde and R. Geers
The objective of this book is to provide a scientificly-based outline for how to evaluate the welfare of pigs at a farm level. Attention is focused on the assessment of the validation of the inferred indicators and parameters, and the validity, reliability and the feasibility of the measuring methods.
