include the type of crossbreeding system, the selection applied within the lines, the importance of starting up relatively quickly, of maintaining efficient production within the breeding herds and of structuring the scheme so that improvements are passed down quickly to the commercial slaughter pigs.do...
Losses due to mortality and rejection of carcases and viscera in a population of 2 959 607 pigs admitted for slaughter in Singapore abattoirs between 1984 and 1986 were studied. Mortality losses were 2822 pigs (9·5 per 10 000 admissions) while 3039 whole carcases (10·3 per 10 000 admis...
food types such as beef and poultry rise, while prices for maize and soybean used in feed decline. There is a slight decline in average per capita calorie availability in China, indicating the importance of assuring the dietary needs of low-income populations. Outside China, projections for cal...
