A simple but extremely prudent guide to pig farming

The Production and Marketing of Pigs by H.R. Davidson is a comprehensive, classic text on swine husbandry and industry, commonly recognized for its 1952 edition published by Longmans, Green and Co., London. It focuses on breeding, feeding, and commercial management, with some listings available on platforms like eBay UK. 

Key Aspects of the Book:

• • Content: The book is recognized as an in-depth, practical guide covering the production and commercial marketing of pigs, offering foundational knowledge from the mid-20th century.
• Edition Information: While 1949 is mentioned, searches indicate major listings and the first edition/impression were prevalent around 1952.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
