This book contains a general guide to keeping pigs, with information on breeding, ailments and treatment, feeding, housing, and much more. Much of the information contained herein was taken from data provided by the College Farm, Auchincruive (Scotland), and will be of interest to modern novice pig farmers and those with an interest in the development of the industry. The chapters of this book include: 'United Kingdom Pig Meat Supplies', 'The Auchincruive Herd', 'Housing', 'Selection of Breeding Stock', 'War-Time and Post-War Fattening', 'Management of In-Pig Sows', 'Farrowing', 'Rearing Piglets to Weaning', 'Weaning', 'Weaning to Bacon Weight', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on pig farming.
