Husbandry Tips for Caribbean Pig Farms

Authors: Claude E Wilson
Formulations for the productive husbandry practices proposed in this manuscript are based on clear understanding of the nature and behaviour of pigs in terms of early growth, production capability and the conditions required for best expression.

This timely and insightful presentation by Claude Wilson therefore provides an invaluable "user friendly" manual for anyone engaged in pig production. The treatment of principles underlying the practices proposed along with the guidance to achieve targets for profitable operation are commendable efforts.

This is especially welcomed in the Caribbean agricultural community when there is a general decline in publications by subject matter specialists and extension workers for practical guidance in the application of scientific and technical "know how"" in pig husbandry.
