Overview
Pig nutrition faces many challenges, including the need to meet the changing requirements of animals as they grow whilst minimising environmentally-damaging nutrient losses. Additionally, with growing crops for feed seen as a significant contributor to climate change, there is an emerging consensus that the sector must seek alternative, more sustainable feed sources which have a reduced impact on the environment.
Advances in pig nutrition provides a comprehensive overview of the range of research addressing these challenges. The book addresses recent advances in understanding feed intake and feed formulation, focussing on advances in understanding pig nutritional requirements and ensuring feed safety. This collection also reviews the role of feed additives in optimising pig nutrition, including amino acids, prebiotics and exogenous enzymes.

About the Author
Dr Julian Wiseman is Emeritus Professor of Animal Production at the University of Nottingham, UK. He has published widely in the area of non-ruminant nutrition and product quality, has presented papers at some of the leading international conferences in this area and has written or edited a number of books on animal nutrition. He was co-organiser of the annual Nottingham Feed Conference. Professor Wiseman is editor of two earlier Burleigh Dodds Science volumes: Achieving sustainable production of pig meat Volume 2 Animal breeding and nutrition; and Achieving sustainable production of pig meat Volume 3: Animal health and welfare (both published in 2017).
Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Shurson is currently Professor in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Minnesota with responsibilities for research and extension. He serves on numerous graduate student committees and has advised 45 Ph.D and M.S. students. He provides programmatic leadership for several interdisciplinary research teams at the University of Minnesota including the Integrated Animal Systems Biology team, African Swine Fever Response Team, and Animal Agriculture Sustainability team. His research program has resulted in 163 refereed publications, 242 abstracts, 31 book chapters and white papers, 5 Handbooks, 95 conference proceedings, and has generated over $19 million in research funding. He has received numerous awards for outstanding accomplishments and contributions in research, teaching, and extension over his 35-year academic career.
Knud Erik Bach Knudsen is Professor in Basic Nutrition at Aarhus University, Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Denmark and section manager for the group on Gut and Host Health.

What People are Saying About This
“Pork production is a highly technical endeavour. It is also one that has changed – and will continue to change – to meet the growing demand for pork meat while addressing consumer and regulatory expectations. Dr Wiseman, a highly regarded and globally prominent authority on animal production and non-ruminant nutrition, has assembled an impressive collection of papers written by an equally impressive selection of authors. The result is a book that maintains the high quality we have come to expect of Dr Wiseman in his previous publications. It addresses topics which are not only critically important but ones which are evolving very quickly. This timely update will be a valuable addition to the library of any professional involved in pork production.” (Dr John F. Patience, Professor Emeritus of Animal Science – Iowa State University, USA)
