Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the inaugural publication of a multi-volume history of Duroc pigs, focusing on their development over the past century and a half. The author traces the Duroc's origins to colonial America and explores the convergence of several strains of red pig, culminating in the modern Duroc breed. The text is both thorough and accessible, featuring numerous pedigrees and show records for famous Durocs. These help illustrate how Durocs have changed from the massive, coarse pigs of the 19th century into the leaner, more productive animals of today. This book will prove indispensable to swine historians and breeders alike, and should fascinate anyone with an interest in the development of livestock breeds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332089949_0
