Diseases of Swine, 12th Edition, is a reference dedicated to both individual pig and herd health. Editors Jeffrey J. Zimmerman, Eric R. Burrough, Locke A. Karriker, Kent J. Schwartz, and Jianqiang Zhang gather insights from over 100 international specialists in swine health to establish a broad foundation for diagnostic and management practice.

The reference features new and updated chapters covering surveillance, monitoring, and biosecurity, while presenting guidance on newly emerged and transboundary infectious agents. Content links herd evaluation with considerations of pig behavior and welfare, incorporating environmental health specifications such as recommended air temperatures and minimum ventilation rates.

The volume delivers practical discussions on the differential diagnosis of disease in combination with complete coverage of drug pharmacology, therapy, and prophylaxis. The text is written for practicing swine veterinarians, academicians, veterinary students, and specialists working in agencies focused on swine health, public health, or zoonotic diseases.
