Annotation

"The first comprehensive text on feeding organic pigs, this book presents advice on formulating appropriate diets and integrating them into organic pig production systems. It outlines the international standards of organic feeding, the breeds of pig that are most suitable for organic farming, up-to-date information on the nutritional requirements of pigs and examples of diets formulated to organic standards." "This book will be invaluable to organic farmers and feed industry personnel, and will also be of interest to students and researchers in animal nutrition, feeds and feeding, pig production and organic farming."--BOOK JACKET.
