This work delves into the intricacies of pig husbandry, focusing on all aspects from breeding and rearing to marketing. The book likely targets farmers, breeders, and agricultural students interested in improving their knowledge and practices regarding pig production. The opening of the book presents an introduction that explores the complexities surrounding the domesticated pig's origins and breeding. It discusses various opinions regarding the lineage of pigs, the influence of soil and climate on pig characteristics, and the idea of improving local breeds through selective breeding practices. Spencer emphasizes the significance of understanding breed distinctions and provides a critical evaluation of historical practices, establishing a baseline for the subsequent chapters, which promise to cover practical aspects such as non-pedigree pigs, pure breeds, breeding techniques, and disease management among others.
