The book “Pig Diseases and Their Management” is a comprehensive resource focusing on important pig diseases and their management in the Indian context. It highlights the importance of pig farming as a major source of livelihood for economically weaker sections of society, particularly in the North-Eastern region of India. According to the 20th Livestock Census, India had approximately 9.06 million pigs, with more than 40% of the population concentrated in the North-Eastern region. The book emphasizes the decline in the pig population by 1.23 million compared to the previous census. It discusses how infectious diseases and inadequate knowledge of disease management contribute to economic losses in pig farming. The main objective of the book is to provide comprehensive information on economically important pig diseases and their management in one place. It covers various bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases affecting pigs. Special emphasis is given to the diagnosis, prevention, control and management of important pig diseases. A dedicated chapter on necropsy procedures provides valuable information about post-mortem examination of pigs. The chapters have been contributed by experienced researchers, academicians and veterinary officers working in different fields of pig health. Scientists from ICAR-NIVEDI have contributed their extensive research experience and field knowledge of pig diseases. The book covers major endemic diseases as well as emerging diseases that require preparedness and effective control measures. It provides useful scientific information for veterinary students, researchers, academicians, field veterinarians and pig farmers. It also serves as a valuable reference for policymakers in developing disease control strategies, action plans and risk maps for pig diseases in India. Overall, this book is an important scientific contribution towards improving pig health, reducing economic losses, strengthening disease surveillance and promoting sustainable pig farming in India.
