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.
