Produktbeschreibung

"Relevant and timely. I have followed the work of Professors Bailey and Stokes for many years and this project is yet another important contribution to the knowledge base involving gut health of pigs."
Dr. Tom Burkey; Professor, Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; President, Digestive Physiology of Pigs-North America; U.S. Representative to the Digestive Physiology of Pigs International Steering Committee

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 pig gut health offers a comprehensive coverage of 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 pig 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.

Dr Mick Bailey is Professor of Comparative Immunology at the University of Bristol's world-famous Veterinary School. Professor Bailey has an international reputation for his research on the development of the mucosal immune system in pigs.

Dr Chris Stokes is Emeritus Professor of Mucosal Immunology at the University of Bristol. Professor Stokes is internationally known for his research on mucosal immunity in several domestic species with a particular focus on the role of maternal factors in driving immune development in young pigs.
