Pig nutrition faces many challenges, including the need to meet the changing requirements of animals as they grow whilst minimising environmentally damaging nutrient losses. Additionally, with growing crops for feed seen as a significant contributor to climate change, there is an emerging consensus that the sector must seek alternative, more sustainable feed sources which have a reduced impact on the environment.

Advances in pig nutrition provides a comprehensive overview of the range of research addressing these challenges. The book addresses recent advances in understanding feed intake and feed formulation, focussing on advances in understanding pig nutritional requirements and ensuring feed safety. This collection also reviews the role of feed additives in optimising pig nutrition, including amino acids, probiotics and prebiotics, as well as alternative growth promoters and exogenous enzymes.

Zielgruppe

University and other researchers in swine and veterinary science, animal nutritionists, feed manufacturers, advisors consulting swine farmers on aspects of health and nutrition, as well as government and private sector agencies supporting global pig production

Dr Julian Wiseman is Emeritus Professor of Animal Production at the University of Nottingham, UK. He has published widely in the area of non-ruminant nutrition and product quality, has presented papers at some of the leading international conferences in this area and has written or edited a number of books on animal nutrition. He was co-organiser of the annual Nottingham Feed Conference. Professor Wiseman is editor of two earlier Burleigh Dodds Science volumes: Achieving sustainable production of pig meat Volume 2 Animal breeding and nutrition; and Achieving sustainable production of pig meat Volume 3: Animal health and welfare (both published in 2017).

Shurson, Professor Gerald C.
Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Shurson is currently Professor in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Minnesota with responsibilities for research and extension. He serves on numerous graduate student committees and has advised 45 Ph.D and M.S. students. He provides programmatic leadership for several interdisciplinary research teams at the University of Minnesota including the Integrated Animal Systems Biology team, African Swine Fever Response Team, and Animal Agriculture Sustainability team. His research program has resulted in 163 refereed publications, 242 abstracts, 31 book chapters and white papers, 5 Handbooks, 95 conference proceedings, and has generated over $19 million in research funding. He has received numerous awards for outstanding accomplishments and contributions in research, teaching, and extension over his 35-year academic career.

DiGiacomo, Dr Kristy
Dr Kristy DiGiacomo graduated with a Bachelor of Animal Science and Management (honours) from The University of Melbourne. Kristy is a senior lecturer in production animal nutrition and physiology at The University of Melbourne and is a Veski sustainable agriculture fellow. Dr DiGiacomo’s current research involves a variety of production animal species including sheep, dairy cattle, dairy goats and pigs. Her research focuses on livestock nutrition, physiology and adaptation to the external environment.

Bedford, Dr Mike
Dr Michael 'Mike' Bedford received his BSc in Animal Production, Animal Nutrition and Animal Physiology from the University of Nottingham in 1981. He was later awarded his MSc and PhD in Poultry Nutrition and Biochemistry from the University of Guelph, Canada in 1985 and 1988 respectively. Dr Bedford has held previous positions at the University of Saskatchewan, Syngenta and Finnfeeds International. He has been a Research Director at AB Vista since 2007.
