Written by an internationally recognized pig consultant, this book covers some subjects on pig production. These subjects are intended for the practical hands-on farmer.

Full of practical advice this unusual and innovative book discusses in depth as many as 50 subjects which, for understandable reasons, may not have been adequately covered by the 35 pig textbooks in the author's reference library. Five sections deal with pig business management; minimizing disease; new developments in current and future pig production; ideas which maximize profit; and 14 subjects written specifically for the stockperson/pig technician.

John Gadd, while he lives in England, through his writing and travel has been described as "one of the best-known people in pigs in the world." He has been involved solely in pig production for 40 years both at commercial and grass-roots levels, and has been writing about pigs for 34 years with over 2,500 technical articles and papers published to date. He won the prestigious agricultural Business Writer of the Year award in 1996 and has his own quarterly magazine on technical pig production. The Pig Pen is now in its 8th year.
