The central role of nutrition in the reproduction of farm animals has long been recognized. 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.
Knowledge of the nutrition of any farm livestock must not be static. The changing nature of the genotype and the pressures resulting from attitudes concerning animal welfare, environment and the consumer's perception of the end product combine to demand new information. This book now provides all the information for all stages of the breeding life of sows and boars. It aims to review the data independently and critically and to make revised recommendations on the nutritional requirements and responsibilities of breeding sows and boars.
This book aims to provide information to allow the development of appropriate feeding strategies. In addition to basic scientific knowledge, practical guidelines and indices of reproduction appropriate for good performance, health and welfare.
Contains chapters which discuss protein, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, appetite, modeling requirements, diets, water provisions and the boar.
This comprehensive work will be an invaluable source of reference for students, research scientists, veterinarians and all those engaged in practical pig production.
