Pig Disease Identification and Diagnosis Guide is a textbook by Steven McOrist designed to guide the recognition and evaluation of swine health disorders. The volume provides diagnostic guidance for identifying major production illnesses.

The textbook addresses more than 100 common pig diseases encountered in agricultural production. Its clinical scope spans overall farm management challenges, pig mortality across nursery and finisher stages, and common presentations including post-weaning diarrhoea and respiratory distress.

Every condition is presented as a case study that pairs a question-and-answer format with colour photographs to guide clinical reasoning. The work is organized for veterinary, animal science, and agricultural students, while also serving as a diagnostic reference for practicing veterinarians.
