The Pig Farmer's Veterinary Book - A Complete Guide to the Farm Treatment and Control of Pig Diseases

By Norman Barron

The Pig Farmer's Veterinary Book is aimed at any one who keeps pigs or has a general interest in keeping pigs or their well being.
Taken from the author's preface:
It is not meant to replace the veterinary surgeon on the farm, as of course in the control of any disease, a proper diagnosis is the first essential. Clinical symptoms may be confusing and faulty treatment may be introduced if this is not correct, but an understanding of the possibilities regarding treatment, should encourage help to be sought with greater confidence. Emphasis throughout the book, however, is upon the environmental conditions which play so vital a part in connection with keeping an animal so artificially reared as the pig usually is.
Many chance remarks by pigmen and farmers, together with the assistance of my veterinary colleagues, have proved invaluable in enabling me to compile this book and to all these, I would like to express my thanks.
