Excerpt from Biggle Awine Book: Much Old and More New Hog Knowledge, Arranged in Alternative Streaks of Fat and LeanHog husbandry is undergoing changes. New feeding methods have come into vogue, methods based on a better understanding of foods and food effects. New breeds of hogs have come into existence, breeds resulting from intelligent and persistent effort to adapt animal to locality, and to the foods of that locality, and to special market requirements.Experience has heretofore been the main guide, but science now comes to the swineherd's aid. Experience could only say that certain results would follow certain causes, but science now explains the causes. This is equally true of breeding, feeding, and the treatment of diseases, and there is less blind groping than formerly.Railroad development, the establishment of great abattoirs or slaughtering establishments, better export facilities, etc., have produced marked effects upon the hog business in America during recent decades.In the preparation of pork products for market, there is, I think, a distinct tendency visible toward neater and more attractive packages, and also an increasing demand for lean or marbled meats rather than for excessively fat meats.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
