Gaining the Edge in Pork and Poultry ProductionHow to Enhance Efficiency, Quality and Safety
Global pork and poultry production has become an extremely competitive industry. There is more pork consumed in the world than any other meat and intense competition to attract and retain customers. Consumers continue to demand safe, high quality pigmeat and poultry products at competitive prices compared to other high protein food alternatives. To ensure sustainability of both the pig and poultry industries, producers must endeavour to seek new technologies to improve production efficiency whilst lowering the cost of production and producing a quality product. This edited (by J.A. Taylor-Pickard, P. Spring) collection of articles is from a series of seminars by the world's leading authorities in the field of swine and poultry nutrition and production. The fundamental theme is to re-examine the current trends in productivity within the pig and poultry industries, and to identify nutritional and managerial means to improve competitiveness as well as the quality of the end product. The importance of animal health together with novel strategies for disease control and ways to minimise the environmental impact of pig and poultry production are covered. The book is aimed at pig unit managers, consultants, nutritionists and animal producers as well as students and researchers studying livestock and applied biological sciences.
