Housing the Pig

Great Britain: Farming Press, 1986. Hardback. This book provides guidelines enabling the pig farmer to assess proposals for new inverstment in buildings and equipment. Much of the book gives a critical appraisal of fifty detailed layouts for all classes of stock, integrated systems and ancillary services. These layouts are discussed not just from a dimensional standpoint but also taking operation into account. In the introductory chapters readers will find information enabling them to judge the components of a package-deal quotation, check a contractor's specification and evaluate proposed materials. Throughout the book great stress is laid on the management of particular systems. The author does not try to impose personal preferences but he does incorporate comments based on his extensive actual experience. This book aims to indicate all the fundamental information a farmer will need when he comes to make his vital housing choices. Illustrated.
