Outdoor pig production

For some years there has been a strong case to be made to be for outdoor pig productionon light land in areas of reasonably low rainfall. Capital outlay is lower than for an indoor unit and disease problems tend to be fewer. So although productivity may be less than for an indoor unit, the final profitability usually campares favourably. In this book Keith Thornton amplifies these points and draws attention to recent developments which have favoured outdoor production. He then provides specific details of all the elements of a successful ourdoor business, drawing on his experience in Britain, the United States and CHina.
