Features: The development of animal husbandry and veterinary science is advancing rapidly. To meet the needs of modern pig production and promote the dissemination of new scientific and technological achievements in the pig industry, the Pig Teaching and Research Office and the Breeding Farm of Northwest A&F University jointly organized experts to compile the book "Stylish Fattening Pigs." When compiling, the book emphasizes the concept of "new," focusing on new technologies, while also paying attention to commercial production and practical techniques. The content of this book includes: an overview of China's pig industry, pig farm construction, pig breeds, pig characteristics and habits, technical measures to improve sow production performance, raising fattening piglets, finishing pig production, disease prevention and control in pigs, pig nutrition and feed, and management of fattening pig farms. Additionally, for the convenience of readers, the book is accompanied by color illustrations. This book is primarily aimed at production, grassroots levels, and practical applications, making it suitable for animal husbandry and veterinary workers, students of relevant majors in colleges and universities, and professional large-scale breeders. It is hoped that this book can serve as a stepping stone for further exploration.
