Mycoplasmas are the smallest of free-living organisms and are
intermediate between viruses and bacteria. Many species thrive as
parasites in animal (including human) hosts. This book is based on
proceedings of a conference held in Palermo, Italy. It reviews some
of the most important mycoplasma diseases of sheep, goats and
cattle including contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, contagious
agalactia and calf pneumonia, which are listed by the OIE because
of their economic implications.
Written for students and all with a general interest in breeding
horses, this book sets out to provide a basic understanding with
sufficient practical information for beginners to get
started.
Enough reproductive physiology of the mare and stallion is
included to clarify the management techniques which are explained
later in the book, but unnecessary details are avoided. Artificial
insemination and embryo transfer are also explained, as are
selecting the broodmare and stallion, management at covering and
during pregnancy, and post-partum care of the mare and foal.
Cherry Hill, America's most trusted equine expert, teams up with
Richard Klimesh, a professional farrier and her frequent writing
partner, to address the twin topics of hoof care and horseshoeing.
Proper hoof care is one of the most important contributors to a
horse's health and well-being. Without sound, well-maintained
hooves, an otherwise healthy horse can become lethargic, grouchy,
and sullen. With healthy hooves, a horse's noble personality
shines.
"Horse Hoof Care" covers what every horse owner needs to know
about this critical key to a horse's overall health and
performance. Hill and Klimesh explain the anatomy of the hoof, the
role of the farrier, and all the principles of good care and
maintenance. They also address the ongoing debate on whether or not
to shoe and how to proceed with either choice. From addressing gait
problems to training a horse for shoeing, and from feeding a
balanced diet to performing daily hoof checks, if it affects horse
foot health, it's covered here.
As with many aspects of horse care, daily routines and consistent
treatment can prevent future problems, but even with the best care,
horses may develop foot ailments. Readers will find comprehensive
coverage of lost shoes, hoof cracks, thrush, clubfoot, contracted
heels, and many other common problems, along with advice on
treatment. A complete chapter on issues that require a veterinarian
tells readers exactly what to look for and how to proceed.
"Horse Hoof Care" is the fifth book in Cherry Hill's Horsekeeping
Skills Library, dedicated to giving horse owners the information
they need to care for horses in every situation.
The symbiotic relationship of man and non-human animals is the
result of a long intertwined history of the evolution of
biological, social and cultural needs. This book explores the
development of that relationship. The use, abuse, care, dedication
and devotion that have been part of our history living with other
animals. Complex, changing and with competing demands the issue of
animal welfare can be seen as a `wicked' one, with poor animal
welfare reflective of a poor system. The aim of this broad survey
of animal welfare is to understand why those animal-keeping
practices are the way they are and what we need to do to change
them. This book will be of interest to researchers, workers and
students of animal welfare and anyone interested in exploring the
relationship of man and animals.
