The ultrasound examination of the bovine musculoskeletal system is
established as a routine examination in veterinary clinics
worldwide. Practical veterinarians use their existing ultrasound
equipment not only for gynaecological but increasingly also for
orthopaedic examinations of calves and adult cattle. This book
provides specific instructions for the ultrasonographic examination
of individual joints and describes particular anatomical landmarks
of each region as a guide. In over 300 illustrations, international
specialists present normal sonoanatomical findings and
sonopathological findings of common diseases. A must have for
modern cattle practitioners who want to broaden their diagnostic
horizon!
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.
