Review

"From the absorption of nutrients to the porcine zone of thermal comfort (the alpha and omega of the index), these 16 contributions aim to quantify the sizable database of information on the latest developments in swine physiology relating to such factors as growth, genetics, metabolism, and behavior. Leading researchers from the US, Europe, and Australia provide balance to a field long on empirical hog sense and short on theoretical analysis, with models that correlate particular physiological and metabolic processes with external process controls. This system approach has relevance to research on other farm animals."--SciTech Book News
