This book is the second in a set of four providing a series on
controlled reproduction in farm animals. The aim of the series is
to provide a general review of the literature dealing with the
different ways in which reproduction in the major farm mammals can
be controlled and manipulated. The four volumes are effectively an
expanded and new edition of a previous work, "Controlled Breeding
in Farm Animals" (Pergamon Press, 1983). However, the literature on
this subject has expanded so rapidly since the time of the earlier
volume, that it is now thought appropriate to publish it in four
separate volumes. Buffaloes, goats, deer and camelids have been
added to the species covered by the series compared to the previous
book. All volumes provide comprehensive reference lists and are
fully up-to-date. This second volume focuses on sheep and goats. It
will appeal to reproductive physiologists and workers in animal
production, animal breeding and veterinary medicine.
This book is an officially authorised advisory manual that
implements the recommendations on the energy and protein
requirements of cattle, sheep and goats made by the AFRC Technical
Committee on Responses to Nutrients (TCORN) since its establishment
in 1982. TCORN has produced a series of numbered reports including
No. 5 in 1990 on 'Nutrient Requirements on Ruminant Animals:
Energy' and in 1992, No. 9 'Nutrient Requirements of Ruminant
Animals: Protein'. The former recommended, with only minor
modifications, the adoption of the AFRC's 1980 Technical Review's
full recommendations on energy requirements of ruminants, while the
latter recommended the adoption of a protein system based on
Metabolisable Protein as the unit. Opportunity has been taken to
include material from TCORN Report No. 8, 1991 on the 'Voluntary
Intake of Silage by Cattle' and from an unpublished TCORN Report on
the 'Nutrition of Goats'. The current volume presents these
recommendations in a practical form designed for use by advisors,
farmers, lecturers, research workers and students concerned with
the nutrition of ruminant animals. The manual includes 45 tables of
requirements (incorporating agreed safety margins) and 29 example
diets.

The latest edition of this pioneering text atlas incorporates all
the advances that have taken place in the field over the last
decade. Minimally invasive procedures are now established as the
method of choice for many applications in equine orthopaedic
surgery, not only as an aid to diagnosis, but also as an
alternative to conventional surgery. The text has been completely
revised and massively expanded to reflect the rapid growth of this
specialty, and covers many important new applications and
techniques. This latest edition also features new, full colour,
high resolution images throughout, including digital video. It
remains the most comprehensive reference available, yet still
retains the established text-atlas format, and continues to provide
readers with both authoritative comment and practical guidance on
all aspects of this important technique. Diagnostic images with
side-by-side radiographs and illustrations offer multiple points of
view and directional guidance on surgical procedures. Expert
authorship features helpful insights and expertise from the
worldwide leader and speaker on equine arthoscopy, Wayne
McIlwraith. Specially commissioned artwork clearly illustrates
local anatomy and key stages of surgical procedures. Coverage of
choice, use, and maintenance of equipment provides a basic
understanding of arthroscopic technique and reasoning behind
various practices. Content dedicated to diagnostic and surgical
arthroscopy of the horse provides authoritative, comprehensive
information on this specialized subject. NEW! Updated
high-definition images provide a crystal clear view of surgical
procedures from multiple views. NEW! Companion website features 48
high-resolution digital videos that link back to the textbook for a
vivid demonstration of surgical techniques. NEW! Expanded content
ensures you are up to date on the latest developments in the field
- particularly in the areas of tenoscopy, bursoscopy, and
arthroscopic methods for cartilage repair. NEW! Chapter on
postoperative management, adjunctive therapies, and rehabilitation
procedures keeps you abreast of best practices when it comes to
taking care of the horse post-operation.
Anatomy, particularly functional anatomy, is a vital and dynamic
subject, an appreciation of which leads not only to superior
husbandry and welfare, but also to a better understanding of the
anatomical challenges associated with riding, training,
overtraining, injury and rehabilitation. Using Alexa McKenna's
fabulous illustrations, this book shows the correlation of the
skeleton, muscular system and locomotion, providing a clear insight
into the functional and dysfunctional horse. It also addresses the
largely misunderstood concept of 'perfect conformation' and looks
at the effect on function of the rider and tack, using cutting-edge
diagnostic techniques such as thermal imaging and gait analysis.
Again with the emphasis on the visual, readers will be able to
appreciate how muscles function in differing athletic disciplines
by analysing the heat generated in musculoskeletal structures after
exercise. This will also highlight the importance of
post-competition recovery. The book concludes with a range of
useful techniques to improve the function of any horse, including
stretches, taping, wrapping and other proprioceptive techniques to
increase balance, flexibility, awareness and posture.

a quick-reference format, ideal for looking up information during a
consult, useful for veterinarians in small and mixed practices, new
graduates and those less familiar with animals such as alpacas
which have seen an increase in popularity. Also ideal as a
refresher guide and as a continuing professional development
resource.
Swine can be infected with many different mycoplasmas. Some are
important pathogens, causing significant health and welfare issues
in pigs and major losses to the swine industry worldwide. Other
mycoplasmas are not pathogenic for swine and can be considered
commensals. This book provides up-to-date scientific, clinical and
practical information of the most important pathogenic mycoplasmas
in swine. Most emphasis has been placed on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
as the most economically important, but other pathogenic species
like Mycoplasma hyorhinis, Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma
suis are also discussed. Written by internationally renowned
scientists and clinicians from all over the world, this book draws
together in depth knowledge, expertise and experience in swine
mycoplasmas to provide an evidence-based, academically rigorous and
practical collection. It aims to serve the scientific and
veterinary community and the swine industry worldwide.
