Acknowledgements
I would like to acknowledge the considerable help I have obtained from reading two excellent textbooks while I was writing this book: Pig Diseases (8th edition) by D.J. Taylor (ISBN 0 9506932 7 8) and Handbook of Pig Medicine by Peter G.G. Jackson and Peter D. Cockcroft (ISBN 978 0 7020 2828 1). They have helped considerably to triangulate all the information.
I would also like to thank my editor Sarah Hulbert who has been a constant source of advice and encouragement.
Finally I would like to thank all my colleagues who have helped me with the pictures, particularly my daughter for all her patience on our numerous travels in search of information.
