Pork is one of the most consumed meats globally, and with increasing
numbers of pigs being farmed, research into their care and health is
expanding rapidly. Raised in intensive mega-farms, grown in organic
outdoor systems, kept as pets, and everything in-between,
veterinarians can find themselves called to a wide range of pig
husbandry systems.With an accessible structure designed for use in the
field, this book provides a general veterinary guide to treating
common conditions in pigs. Fully updated throughout, the book
addresses veterinary medicines and their uses, equipment, normal
values and vital signs, vaccination, nutrition, poisoning, dermatology
and more. New for this edition, it considers:-Surgical techniques
in-situ within the disease systems where this care may be
necessary.-New vaccine technologies, particularly for African Swine
Fever and oral vaccinations.-General advancements in the field, such
as extended information around salmonellosis, diagnostic tests, and
radiographic and ultrasonographic techniques.-Increased focus on pig
welfare, particularly around slaughter and diseases of the
neurological system.Worldwide disease conditions, both notifiable and
zoonotic, are also covered in detail. Written as a handy how-to
reference for farm animal veterinarians, this book is also a valuable
resource for students and anyone interested in pig veterinary
treatment.
