Feeder Barn Design and Management

Posted in: Energy by admin on | No Comments

This book is intended to help producers identify problems and understand some of the interactions between health, facilities, nutrition and management of the feeder pig. A modern grower-finishing barn is used as a template to discuss the issues. The five major sections in the book are: 1) design and operation, 2) ventilation, 3) feeding, 4) monitoring production and 5) health and pig care. A strong interaction between each of the five sections is evident. Producers should avoid putting too much emphasis on one of these areas to the neglect of the others. In regards to energy and energy efficiency, the chapters encompassing insulation, ventilation and feed should be of interest.

Agricultural Respiratory Hazards Education Series, For the Health Professional

Posted in: Environment by admin on | No Comments

The Agricultural Respiratory Hazards Educational Series discusses the major occupational threats to the respiratory system of those who work in agriculture and related fields. These units are intended to be a practical manual for all those involved in intensive livestock or confined areas. Volume 1 focuses on potential problem areas in an operation that may stimulate respiratory problems in farm workers; respiratory responses to inhales agricultural substances, examining the onset of Bronchitis, Pharyngitis and Rhinitis to name a few; medical surveillance of the Agricultural workforce, detecting which population sectors are at greater risk to develop respiratory problems; finally approaches to prevention of the devlopment of respiratory problems.
