Each chapter provides readers with an excellent overview of up-to-date science as it relates to swine welfare. I find the chapter on positive pig welfare particularly thought provoking because intensive pig production and the evaluation of pig welfare in intensive production systems are evolving rapidly. Overall, this is an extremely well-researched and written book regarding the current state of swine welfare. --Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
