About This Book
The work is a practical compendium for raising sheep, swine, and poultry, combining breed histories and descriptions with guidance on breeding, feeding, housing, and routine management. It surveys anatomy and wool, skin, and tooth structures where relevant, outlines principles of selection and crossing, and offers detailed husbandry techniques such as lambing and farrowing care, winter and pasture feeding, and facility design. A substantial disease section describes common ailments, diagnostics, and farm-tested remedies and procedures. Numerous illustrations and concise, nontechnical language aim to make the material accessible to ordinary farmers and smallholders.
