Poor production in growing pigs
John Walton
It is patently obvious that all the production problems that are described above result directly or indirectly from some action of management. These include failure to impose security precautions, improper control of temperature and ventilation systems, bad maintenance of fixtures such as slatted floors and concrete areas and there are all the problems associated with feeding and feeding systems. Finally, many production problems can also be caused by upper or executive management imposing routines or procedures based solely on budget or financial considerations.
