Care of the Farm Sow - With Information on Farrowing, Parturition, Feeding and Taking Care of Female Pigs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781446536742)

This volume contains a collection of articles on pig-keeping, with information on farrowing, parturition, feeding, breeding, taking care of female pigs, and much more besides. Including a wealth of information fundamental to the successful keeping of pigs, this volume will be of considerable value to the novice pig farmer, and will also appeal to existing farmers looking to improve their farming practice. Although old, much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much use to the modern reader as it was when these works were originally published. The articles of this book include: 'Pigs and Their Management'; 'How to Treat Pig Ailments'; 'Pig Keeping that Pays - A Practical Handbook to the Profitable Breeding and Management of the Pig'; 'The Book of the Pig - Its Selection, Breeding, Feeding, and Management'... and more. We are proudly publishing this vintage text, now complete with a specially-commissioned introduction on pig farming.
