“Understanding gut microbiomes as targets for improving pig gut health provides a wealth of information, with deep dives into the latest research. Written by recognised experts in the field, it is unlikely you’d need further information to fully understand the pig gut microbiome and the opportunity to increase pig health and productivity, while reducing antibiotic resistance.” (Book Review Published in Practical Pigs – Dr Michaela Giles, British Pig Association, UK)
"As a nutritionist I liked this book a lot. I like the setup of the book and how it starts with the gut microbiome and works through to the different ways to manipulate the gut bacteria, including enzymes and different kinds of fibre. I think this is a great book with a lot of advanced information.” Dr Darlene Bloxham, Adisseo, USA
The pig production sector faces many challenges, including the need to improve feed efficiency to reduce emissions from manure, finding alternative methods to prevent the onset of diseases affecting swine, as well as ensuring that the welfare of pigs is consistent with consumer and regulatory agencies’ expectations.
Understanding gut microbiomes as targets for improving gut health offers a comprehensive coverage on the wealth of research on the porcine gastrointestinal tract, its key role in pig health and nutrition, as well as its implications for improving feed efficiency and growth. This collection details how optimising the gut microbiome can contribute to an overall improvement in pig health.
Edited by Professor Mick Bailey and Emeritus Professor Chris Stokes, University of Bristol, UK, Understanding gut microbiomes as targets for improving gut health will be a standard reference text for pig/swine scientists in universities and research centres, pig feed manufacturers, and government and private sector agencies advising pig farmers on health and nutrition.
