Features: The authors of this book combine their long-term experience in pig production and disease prevention to objectively analyze the current state and development trends of China's pig industry. They systematically introduce key technical aspects of pig production, including management points during different physiological periods of pigs and measures to improve the survival rate of piglets. Under the severe situation where pig diseases in China are transitioning from single infections to secondary infections and mixed infections of multiple pathogens, and clinical symptoms are shifting from typical to atypical or mild persistent infections, making diagnosis and prevention increasingly challenging, the book critically examines the serious shortcomings and deficiencies in pig production's disease prevention efforts. Based on extensive review of domestic and international technical materials, the authors conduct a thorough analysis of the causes behind the resurgence of some existing diseases (e.g., classical swine fever, porcine respiratory disease complex), proposing corresponding control measures. Additionally, the book provides detailed introductions and summaries of recent developments in new diseases (e.g., porcine circovirus disease, respiratory disease complex), covering their causes, epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, and response strategies.
