This new edition has been completely revised to include the latest information, developments, and research in the field. Now with full color images throughout, this comprehensive and authoritative resource has been redesigned for improved consistency and readability, with a reorganized format for more intuitive access to information. 

Diseases of Swinecovers a wide range of essential topics on swine production, health, and management, with contributions from more than 100 of the foremost international experts in the field. This revised edition makes the information easy to find and includes expanded information on welfare and behavior.  

A key reference for anyone involved in the swine industry,Diseases of Swine, Eleventh Edition: 

Presents a thorough revision to the gold-standard reference on pig health and diseaseFeatures full color images throughout the bookIncludes information on the most current advances in the fieldProvides comprehensive information on swine welfare and behaviorOffers a reorganized format to make the information more accessible

Written for veterinarians, academicians, students, and individuals and agencies responsible for swine health and public health,Diseases of Swine, Eleventh Editionis an essential guide to swine health.

\"The 11th edition of Diseases of Swine continues to serve as the gold-standard resource for anything and everything related to swine herd health...this edition does an outstanding job of keeping up with the advanced diagnostic technologies and the latest research on new or emerging diseases and syndromes...there is no other informational resource that comes close to providing the depth or quality of information on the topic of swine diseases as does this book\"
