The Appliance of Pig Science
The Appliance of Pig Science
Author(s): JE Thompson, BP Gill & MA Varley (Eds) BSAS Publication No. 31With the UK Pig Industry once again at a crucial crossroads, the need and willingness for better and more effective communication and collaboration between all sectors of the pig industry is gathering strength - from those involved in planning and conducting R&D to those who can harness and benefit from it in practice.
This volume discusses how the industry, as a whole, can close the loop and meet the needs of today's researcher, processor, producer and consumer. Views are presented on five key areas of debate: Science into practice; Who matters? The changing market; A return to competitiveness; Dealing with the inevitable; Innovation and inspiration. The book includes a chapter on the nutritional control of salmonella (workshop) and concludes with a summary chapter looking at the appliance of pig science in practice.
