| Summary | "Sheep, Swine, and Poultry" by Robert Jennings is a comprehensive agricultural manual written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a practical guide that covers the history, varieties, breeding, feeding, management, diseases, and remedies related to sheep, swine, and poultry. It is aimed at amateur stock-raisers and farmers, providing them with valuable insights grounded in the author's experience as a veterinary surgeon. The opening of the book establishes its intentions and focus, detailing the author’s motivations for writing it as a resource for farmers seeking accessible information on livestock. Jennings notes the importance of livestock in agriculture, particularly sheep for wool and swine for commerce, while emphasizing the need for practical and concise management advice. He conveys a deep familiarity with the subject, promising to share essential knowledge based on both historical context and personal experience within the farming community. This introductory portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of each animal type, starting with sheep, as the author lays out the necessary groundwork to inform and aid those engaged in livestock management.
