Science and Practice of Pig Production

Review

" Whittemore′s Science and Practice of Pig Production is well produced with good layout and excellent diagrams, line drawings, tables and figures.
The book is very readable and, unusually for a reference book, I found myself reading large chunks out of pure enjoyment."
