D.L. Harris has summarized the advantages and challenges associated with multi-site production in an easy to comprehend manner. This book will provide readers of the science of disease transfer, weaning ages required to utilize the system to lower cost, and provide targets that the industry needs to remain competitive in the future. Dr. Harris shows the "sytematic" approach to making multi-site production successful and includes all aspects of the "flow" that must be adapted to making the system work. Bits and pieces or partial application may ad some benefit but a complete follow through will provide optimum results.

Multi-site swine production volumes represent a sine qua non of 20th century animal husbandry achievement. Differentiating the techniqes applied to cattle or any other ungulates. Whilst at Cornell, I had the good fortune to hear Dr. Harris speak, and this book reflects both the intellect and the ability to convey information that one appreciates when attending a lecture. For me, the academic study of this topic is fulfilling on a number of levels, from the dry but necessary scientific research and publication, to the earthy warmth one feels in the pen, I share the attachment of Dr. Harris to this subject, and post-doc, intend to make it my life's work. Bravo Dr. Harris!
