Produktbeschreibung
Farmers around the world are increasingly under pressure to produce enough food to feed a rapidly growing population. As demand for certain food products continues to rise, such as pork, farmers are tasked with the need to increase the size of their herds, whilst also ensuring that the health and welfare of their animals isn't compromised in doing so. Advances in precision pig farming technologies provides a comprehensive overview of the recent applications of precision livestock farming technologies in pig production, focussing on the deployment of monitoring technologies and data processing techniques to better manage housing, nutrition, health and welfare. The book also reviews recent advances in the use of automated and acoustic technologies for disease detection and diagnosis in pigs. This book builds on a successful earlier volume published by Burleigh Dodds Science: Advances in precision livestock farming (2022).
