Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: -, course: B.V.Sc & A.H, language: English, comment: Loving non-human animal is a humanity., abstract: A study was carried out to assess the current status of animal cruelty, criminology and prosecution in Nepal. A questionnaire survey was carried out among the veterinarians of Nepal. Collection of reported data and observation of cruelty cases was done in various sites of Nepal and a search of international data about animal cruelty, criminology and prosecution was also carried out. Multiple cases of animal cruelty/abuse were found. The present study showed that human violence against animal was found in increasing trend. Most cases of animal cruelty included beating (8.46%), run over with vehicle (10.65%), emaciated (8.46%) and malnourished (9.41%) animals, kicking (7.52%), poisoning (7.52%) while fewer cases were of animal sexual abuse (0.62%), hanging the animals (2.51%), dragging (3.13%) and shooting (3.13%). Other types of cruelty included pouring of boiling water in the body of animals, religious sacrifices, brutal slaughtering of animals, leaving animals in the streets etc. Hunting of wild animals, animal trafficking and living condition of farm animals were other sort of cruelty issues highly prevalent in our society. In this study, male represented the higher number of animal abuser than female and the respondents designated as a government officer represented the higher number of abuser. Numbers of animal welfarists are high in comparison to animal rightists. Reported cases of animal cruelty and prosecution are few. Appropriate recommendations were made targeting the remodeling of animal protection law, public education and awareness to all concerned step holders.

The digestive system of the birds have some unique aspects in that it stores food temporarily in the crop, and masticates it in the gizzard rather than in the mouth like the other animals. The vertebrate gastrointestinal tract is a dynamic organ (Brugger, 1991). The digestive organs of birds consist of the epithelium derived from the endoderm (Romanoff, 1960). Birds have a digestive tract (GI tract) that is much shorter (to reduce weight for flight) and have a specially modified stomach for processing seeds and plant material. In pigeons, the crop lining changes dramatically when they are feeding young. Birds depend heavily on their digestive system to remain nourished and healthy.

Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Veterinary medicine, grade: Excellent, Cairo University (Faculty of veterinary medicine), course: Hygeine & control of meat & its products, language: English, abstract: This survey was conducted in El-Basateen abattoir in Cairo to study the significance of abattoir finding among slaughtered sheep from January to December 2006. A total of 57223 sheep included 39582 Saidi, 17367 Barki, 54 Ossimi, 31 Rahmani, and 189 Imported breeds (162 Romanian, 27 Ethiopian) admitted to El-Basateen abattoir ovine slaughter hall were slaughtered & inspected according to the Egyptian Official Code # 517 for Meat inspection presented in the (El-Wakaa El-Masria, 1986). All gross pathological & abnormal findings revealed during the postmortem inspection of sheep carcasses were recorded & photographed to illustrate the macroscopic details of each gross lesion. The prevalence of most common abnormalities and affections demonstrated in sheep carcasses were estimated in relation to breed, age, sex and seasons. The economic losses due to condemned carcasses & organs were evaluated. The public health significance & zoonotic importance of recorded affections have been discussed.

Let your senses soar as the author takes you on an exciting journey into the world of wildlife conservation as seen through the eyes of a wildlife veterinarian. The author's descriptions of the exciting captures, the wildlife, scenery, colorful characters, and the ugly politics of his work are precise, vivid, and extremely entertaining and informative. His account of an African lion waking up while being attended to in the South Luangwa National Park of Zambia, Africa, and being stranded on top of an icy, foggy mountain in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, while working on Dall sheep, gives the reader a sense of the dangers. Go along with him to the mysterious swamps of southern Florida, the grassy savannas of Africa, the fringes of the Gobi desert in Outer Mongolia, and the high deserts of the American west to feel the excitement of the chase and the beauty of the country. Share the author's frustration as he attempts to help solve the mystery into the cause of the specie's impending demise. At times, it's a story of sadness, yet hope for all wild creatures that reside just beyond that wild horizon.

This book is a compilation of manuscripts that encompass a breadth of information from different species including rodents, dogs, cows, goats, and sheep. Normal developmental processes are covered and anatomical features are discussed, as well as the impact and significance of environmental chemicals and epigenetics on the mammary gland. In terms of disease states, cancer and mastitis are the most impactful in the fields of human medicine and livestock management, respectively, in the context of mammary gland biology. Therefore, this book presents in depth analyses of these diseases over several chapters and different model systems. Rodent and canine cancer models are discussed, which are very relevant in understanding the roles that genes and the environment play in human breast cancer. In the livestock industry, mastitis in the dairy sector has a deep economic impact globally, and results in over a billion dollar loss annually. Several chapters are devoted towards this disease in dairy cattle, sheep and goats, with an underlying theme of generating newer detection strategies to detect infections at an earlier stage. An up-to-date description of the most important signaling pathways and mechanisms that impact both development and disease are included. A gamut of sub-disciplines are found throughout the book that covers the main aspects of anatomy, physiology, cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology in both development and diseases of the mammary gland.

In a fast changing world some nation stands as one of the future leading country and renowned for its agricultural and dairy industry. Preponderance of global economy based on livestock industry with global climatic changes many times it faces huge losses being incurred by the loss of grazing, diseases, deaths of animals. So it is undeniable requirement to develop newer antimicrobials to fight against bacterial infections. Fluoroquinolones are the fastest growing antibacterial class in terms of global revenue, increasingly being used in both the hospital and community sectors to treat a broad range of infections. Moxifloxacin is a latest fourth generation fluoroquinolone having 8 - methoxy - quinolone ring and bulky C7 side chain with broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, anaerobes and atypical organisms such as Mycoplasma spp. and Chlamydia spp. Resistance to microorganisms is less with moxifloxacin because it is bactericidal, and also have low MIC values, extended spectrum activity, less chances of toxicity and adverse drug reaction, moxifloxacin is very promising antibiotics for its use in human and veterinary medicine.

Punching Above Their Weight traces the development of the British Veterinary Association from its origins in late Victorian times into the twenty-first century. It documents the struggle of veterinarians to raise their practice from disorganised pragmatic beginnings to a science-based, politically influential body. Its author, Edward Boden, is a former editor of the Veterinary Record, executive editor of In Practice and Research in Veterinary Science, and editor of Blacks Veterinary Dictionary. ----------------------------------- This is a title in the Winchester University Press's New Perspectives on Veterinary History, edited by Louise Curth

Cyanide is widely distributed in the ecosystem and has been linked with lethal effects in animals as well as humans. Cyanide toxicity may be the result of intake from food sources, environmental pollution, intentional ingestion, chemical warfare, occupational exposure, homicide, and sometimes through the use of drugs like nitroprusside and laetrile.Cyanide intake has been linked to central nervous system syndromes and thyroid in animals as well as humans. This book covers the following aspects. 1) cyanogenic potential of various sorghum species. 2) cyanide levels in blood samples of cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats feeding on cyanogenic plants. 3)new simple, reliable and inexpensive assay to determine CN levels in blood samples. 4)efficacy of various antidotes against cyanide toxicity. 5) effects of cyanide toxicity on hematological and biochemical panel. 6) postmortem lesions and histopathological changes associated with cyanide toxicity in various organs. 6) alterations in tissue oxygenation and metabolic variables during acute cyanide toxicity."

The poems included in this book express my true feelings about life in general. May you find peace and comfort while reading each one. If I'm able to touch someone's heart, I've accomplished my dream of becoming a first time author. Never give up on your dreams, and you will make the impossible, "POSSIBLE."

Amy Richards is deathly ill with bulimia, brought on by the death of her brother in the Iraq war. Her father, a doctor, and her mother, a librarian, are frantic. In their desperation, they bring into the household a loving dog named Wendy, leaving Amy in charge of her care during the day. Much to her chagrin, Amy has to get out of bed to let the dog out. When outside, she smells the lilacs and begins to feel that maybe there is something to live for. She attends veterinary classes at her university and discovers that she loves caring for animals despite having to face man's cruelty toward them. When she apprentices in a veterinary office, she gets herself into trouble at a puppy mill and finds her budding career in jeopardy.

Participatory epidemiology is a branch of veterinary epidemiology that uses a combination of practitioner communication skills and participatory methods to involve animal keepers in the analysis of animal disease problems, and the design, implementation and evaluation of veterinary programmes and policies. Much of the early development of participatory epidemiology occurred in remote areas of Africa, where conventional veterinary services were limited, but where pastoralists possessed rich indigenous knowledge on animal diseases. This book presents some of the early studies on participatory epidemiology in East Africa, and assesses the validity and reliability of the approach by comparing information derived from adapted participatory methods with conventional veterinary investigation and epidemiological information. Field research with pastoralist communities in South Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania is described, covering cattle diseases such as "chronic wasting," trypanosomiasis, and foot and mouth disease. These validation studies demonstrated why participatory epidemiology was an important approach for improving livestock disease control and human welfare in resource-poor settings.

In this second collection by our intrepid vet, Jeff Wells has his work cut out for him when he learns that Ilamas do not take kindly to having their toenails trimmed, dog owners in the medical field can be a real pain, Scottish Highland cattle stick together and just might run a vet out of their enclosure, and fixing an overly amorous burro often needs to be prioritized. We also find out what inspired a young Jeff to become a vet, and how his own pets enrich his life. Told with Wells' trademark humour and gentle touch, these and many other heart-warming, heart-breaking, funny and strange stories will give readers a whole new appreciation for those who care for our pets.

An utmost try has been made to full fill the modern requirements of the Procedures in Veterinary Entomology but still there is paucity of knowledge and literature regarding the understanding of insects anatomy, staining behavior, prevalence, feeding behaviors, location of suitable host, seasonal variations, vector role for various diseases of public health and zoonotic importance and periodicity. This manual will be helpful to the field Veterinarians, to the Graduates and Under Graduates, Veterinary Entomologists, Forensic Entomologists, to the Researchers and to the students of Veterinary Sciences. By any means, author does not claim perfectness and completeness of the manuscript. Any suggestion or recommendations for the improvement of the work will be highly obliged. Author, however, recommends the manual to be used as ready reference at teaching institutions, research institutions or at Diagnostic laboratories of Veterinary and Medical imporatnce public sector or in government sector.

The use of artificial reproduction techniques and cryopreservation biotechnology can support species conservation. Gametes and embryos cryopreservation and banks of frozen germplasm can be used in species conservation programs and genetic resource for "in situ" and "ex situ" populations. However, environmental factors, such as type of enclosure, number of animals per enclosure and animal-keeper interactions, therefore stress, diseases, nutritional deficiencies, genetics and behavioral alterations may affect semen and oocytes quality in order to be important for successful feline reproduction in captivity. This book describes the first assessment of ovarian, ultrastructural, immunological and hormonal responses in nondomestic cats (Leopardus pardalis and Leopardus tigrinus) treated with alternating exogenous gonadotropin regimens. These findings are potentially valuable for our ongoing efforts to develop and apply assisted reproduction technologies to the management and conservation of endangered felid populations.

The rst goal of the livestock production is the delivery of safe foods for human consumption taking into account the welfare of the animal and respect for the environment. The poultry industry has become an important economic activity in many countries. In large-scale rearing facilities, where poultry are exposed to stressful conditions, problems related to diseases and deterioration of environmental conditions often occur and result in serious economic losses. Prevention and control of diseases have led during recent decades to a substantial increase in the use of veterinary medicines. However, the utility of antimicrobial agents as a preventive measure has been questioned, given extensive documentation of the evolution of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria. So, the possibility of antibiotics ceasing to be used as growth stimulants for poultry and the concern about the side-effects of their use as therapeutic agents has produced a climate in which both consumer and manufacturer are looking for alternatives. Probiotics are being considered to fill this gap and already some farmers are using them in preference to antibiotics.

Poultry farming is an emerging industry in world. But now a day it faces many problems. Mycoplasmosis is one of them. It causes a significant thrashing to the poultry industry. By studying this book researchers will easily known about mycoplasmosis problem in broiler farming. The efficacy of tylosin tartrate and tiamulin hydrogen fumarate against mycoplasmosis and their effects on body weight gain of the treated broiler is discussed in this book. This book will also help to researchers who work on pharmacological field.
