Im gesellschaftlichen Kontext Wurttembergs zeichnet das vorliegende Buch exemplarisch fur den deutschsprachigen Raum die Entstehung und organisatorische Entfaltung des Tierschutzes im langen 19. Jahrhundert nach. Ausgangspunkt ist die erste kontinentaleuropaische Tierschutzbewegung, die in Wurttemberg von 1837 bis 1840 in einem breiten oeffentlichen Diskurs und organisiert in sechs Vereinen einen Tierschutzparagrafen durchsetzte, bevor sie wieder versandete. Warum gerade zu dieser Zeit ausgerechnet im wirtschaftlich zuruckgebliebenen Wurttemberg der UEbergang von tierethischer Reflexion zu zivilgesellschaftlichem Handeln gegen Tierqualerei stattfand, leitet die Studie aus Veranderungen der gesellschaftlichen Verhaltnisse und aus einer geistigen Atmosphare ab, die gekennzeichnet war von romantischer Empfindsamkeit, Individualismus und Sittenstrenge, verschrankt mit aufgeklarter, sehr praktisch orientierter pietistischer Froemmigkeit. 1862 gelang die Grundung eines dauerhafteren und landesweiten Vereins, dem in den 1890er Jahren noch zwei kleinere folgten: ein Frauenverein und ein Ableger der Antivisektionsbewegung. Das Buch stellt Praxis, Forderungen, tierrechtliche Ansatze, Zielgruppen und soziale Basis aller Vereine ausfuhrlich vor und analysiert Motive und Netzwerke der Protagonist*innen. Dabei werden die Tiere, um die es ging, nicht vergessen: Basierend auf den Quellen der Vereine entfaltet die Studie ein plastisches Panorama der damaligen Lage der Tiere in der menschlichen Gesellschaft, die jeden romantisierenden Ruckbezug auf diese Zeit vor der Massentierhaltung Lugen straft.

This book describes the fundamentals of microfluidics and fabrication methods of microfluidic devices that can be adopted for animal-assisted reproduction. It presents microfluidic methods for sorting highly fertile spermatozoa. This book also describes the application of microfluidics in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. It discusses the use of microfluidics in sperm sexing and the cryopreservation of animal gametes and embryos. Lastly, the book examines the potential opportunities of microfluidics in infertility diagnosis, sperm selection and guidance, oocyte selection, insemination, and embryo monitoring.

This textbook introduces the core competencies, tools and perspectives to manage free-ranging animal population health and demonstrates their need and relevance to help wildlife cope with the ever-increasing pressures of the Anthropocene, manifested by global megatrends such as climate change, urbanization and pollution. It adapts and adopts key concepts of population health from public health and herd health to a wildlife health context. In a highly-accessible and unique form, this book presents a modern way of approaching wildlife and fish epidemiology, health promotion and disease control, with a focus on the social dimensions of wildlife health management. Aimed at graduate students in veterinary medicine, wildlife researchers and health managers this textbook provides a valuable source of information to foster the knowledge and skills needed to protect and promote the health of free-ranging wildlife.

Using in-depth interviews with veterinary students, Identity, Gender, and Tracking: The Reality of Boundaries for Veterinary Students explores the experience of enrollment in an educational program that tracks students based on the species of animals that they wish to treat. The identity of a veterinarian is one characterized by care; thus, students have to construct different definitions of care, creating a system of power and inequality. Tracking produces multiple boundaries for veterinary students, which has consequences not just for the veterinarian, but also for the treatment of animals. Written for administrators and students alike, Identity, Gender, and Tracking sheds light on how and why veterinary students construct their identities and end up in certain specializations.
