This book contains a detailed guide to pig keeping, written by Geoffrey Morgan. This text gives a general account of breeds, housing, and management of stock, including information concerning the 'Pig Club Movement' and descriptions of regulations on keeping pigs. Although this is an old text, pig-keeping is a timeless practice, and much of the information offered within this text is still as relevant to modern farmers as it was to those contemporary with the original publication of this book. The chapters contained herein include: The Stock, Pork Breeds, Bacon Breeds, Dual Purpose, Weights and Points, Choice of Breed, Purchase of Stock, Breed Societies, Housing, Feeding, Breeding, Management, Marketing, Minor Ailments and Diseases, Pig Clubs, Government Regulations... and more. We are proudly republishing this text complete with a new introduction on pig farming.
