Hog Manure Management, the Environment and Human Health

The text provides a look at how development of intensive livestock production, particularly hogs, has affected human health with respect to zoonotic diseases primarily transmitted by food but also by water, air and occupational activity. Lessons learned from the experience of those who have gone before are invaluable and are drawn together in this volume to serve as useful guidance for others in plotting the courses of action possible to avoid serious environmental setbacks and negative human health effects through foodborne illness.
