Pork is one of the world's most widely consumed meats, with the pig industry undergoing recent rapid expansion across Asia and Latin America. This textbook covers more than 100 of the most common pig diseases. With each presented as a case study, the book uses a question and answer format to enable students to recognise the key features of each disease, identify the problem and suggest a course of action. Fully illustrated throughout with colour photos, this is an invaluable learning tool for veterinary, animal science and agricultural students, as well as a useful resource for veterinarians.

Complications in Equine Surgery ist das erste Referenzwerk, das sich ausschliesslich damit befasst, verfahrensbezogene und postoperative Komplikationen bei chirurgischen Eingriffen an Pferden zu verstehen, zu vermeiden, zu erkennen und zu managen sowie Prognosen zu formulieren. Die beiden Herausgeber sind anerkannte Fachexperten auf dem Gebiet und prasentieren in ihrer Publikation evidenzbasierte Informationen, klar, zuganglich und nach Koerpersystem strukturiert. Das Fachbuch enthalt farbige Abbildungen und deckt das gastronintestinale, respiratorische, Muskel-Skelett-, Urogenital- und neurologische System im Detail ab. Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit einer kurzen Einfuhrung des jeweiligen Verfahrens und erlautert, wann und wie das Verfahren einzusetzen ist. Durchgangig wird erlautert, wie man technische Komplikationen erkennt und vermeidet und wie das Management postoperativer Komplikationen aussieht. Inhalt: - Das erste Referenzwerk, das sich insbesondere mit Komplikationen bei chirurgischen Eingriffen an Pferden beschaftigt. - UEbersichtliches Format, geordnet nach Koerpersystem. - Einheitliche Kapitelstruktur und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. - Prasentiert klinisch relevante Informationen fur den Umgang mit verfahrensbezogenen und postoperativen Komplikationen. - Enthalt mehr als 350 farbige Abbildungen zur Verdeutlichung der Konzepte.

Das Referenzwerk ist unabdingbar, wenn es darum geht, Morbiditat und Mortalitat bei Pferden zu senken und chirurgische Eingriffe erfolgreicher durchzufuhren.

Analysis of the equine genome began just over a decade ago, culminating in the recent complete sequencing of the horse genome. The availability of the equine whole genome sequence represents the successful completion of an important era of equine genome analysis, and the beginning of a new era where the sequence information will catalyze the development of new tools and resources that will permit study of a range of traits that are economically important and are significant to equine health and welfare."Equine Genomics" provides a timely comprehensive overview of equine genomic research. Chapters detail key accomplishments and the current state of research, as well as looking forward to possible applications of genomic technologies to horse breeding, health, and welfare. "Equine Genomics" delivers a global overview of the topic and is seamlessly edited by a leading equine genomics researcher. "Equine Genomics" is an indispensible source of information for anyone with an interest in this increasingly important field of study, including equine genomic researchers, clinicians, animal science professionals and equine field veterinarians.

AS SEEN ON BBC TWO'S HIT TV-SHOW 'THIS FARMING LIFE' 'A heartwarming tale of life on the land' Alan Titchmarsh 'There's love and loss, challenge and adversity, but above all it's warm, insightful and inspiring' Helen Skelton 'Will inspire any reader to look at the countryside - and all those who work there - with newfound appreciation' Jimmy Doherty 'Uplifting, charming and beautifully written' Adam Henson Emma Gray was just twenty-three when she moved to an isolated farm in Northumberland, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with its rolling fields, surrounding forest and sturdy farmhouse, tending her sheep and training her dogs - and even found romance. But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken and recovering from a serious accident, she wonders if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she recovers, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm? In her heartwarming book, Emma tells the story of how she picked herself up and expanded her cattle herd, added more horses to her menagerie, and became one of the country's most successful breeders and trainers of Border Collies - unexpectedly discovering true love and lasting happiness along the way. Written with warmth and humour, My Farming Life is a joyous celebration of nature and community, and a delight for anyone who's ever dreamed of living closer to the countryside.

Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses.

The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text.

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.

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.
