Summary This book focuses on the nutrition and management of weaner pigs, elaborating on the growth, nutritional requirements and feeding, digestive physiology, enteric immunity and gut health, enteric and respiratory diseases, and behaviour of piglets. Weaning systems, practical management and housing for weaners, as well as aerial pollutants produced from weaner production and the impact of these on the environment, are also discussed
