Description

Scientific and technical book mainly focused on the management
of pig farms working with hyperprolific genetics, which almost
completely monopolise the market in this species in both productive
and reproductive terms, and are the target of the most of the
investment and research conducted in the field regarding search for
optimization of productivity and profitability of farms.
This is an innovative and updated work within pig production with
a distinctly practical approach to the veterinarian technician. The
author, a renowned experienced specialist with this type of genetic,
provides key information to facilitate the management of these lines
by veterinary professionals.
