Abstract
5/79/8M"Sanitation is important to any swine production program but vital to an intensified program. If sanitation could be measured, the degree of success of the production program would be in direct proportion to degree of sanitation. Cleanliness and sanitation are commonly used as synonyms, but cleanliness is far from the entire picture of sanitation. It should include the entire management program directed toward the prevention and control of disease for the purpose of efficient swine production. The selection of lots and pastures, and the construction of houses and feeding floors should be directed toward easy and effective cleaning, ample drainage, and the provisions of a clean wholesome water supply. Pens and feeding floors should be preferably of an impervious material , such as concrete to facilitate proper cleaning."--First page.B. L. Moseley (School of Veterinary Medicine
