R3,453 Discovery Miles 34 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

It will also provide a more detailed account for experienced clinicians in their continuing professional development.

Wilson G. Pond, Harry J. Mersmann
R4,565 Discovery Miles 45 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An invaluable resource for animal scientists, veterinarians, and biomedical researchers, this books shows that in the past twenty years, the knowledge base about the physiology and biology of the pig has grown phenomenally. This is because of the animal's rapid rise in popularity as a model subject in biomedical research and the ongoing research concerning its use worldwide as a food source.

The Biology of the Domestic Pig offers an integrated description of the full scope of current knowledge. The editors have included chapters on the expanding fields of immunology, endocrinology, and genetics. Growth, digestion, nutrition, respiration, excretion, and reproduction are extensively treated. The final chapter covers the emerging applications of transgenics, metabolite replacement therapy, and xenotransplantation (the use of animal tissues in humans).

Animal Welfare Science, Husbandry and Ethics - The Evolving Story of Our Relationship with Farm Animals (Paperback): Mark Fisher Animal Welfare Science, Husbandry and Ethics - The Evolving Story of Our Relationship with Farm Animals (Paperback)
Mark Fisher; Foreword by Temple Grandin
R781 R649 Discovery Miles 6 490 Save R132 (17%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

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.

Ulisse Aldrovandi; Edited by L.R. Lind
R719 Discovery Miles 7 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"Aldrovandi on Chickens," written in 1598, is the first English translation of any work by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi. It exemplifies the spirit and the letter of Renaissance science--the former, in the extensive classical references; the latter, through careful examination of every process involved with the raising or use of chickens.

Aldrovandi discusses such concepts as artificial stimulation of egg production, culling, and flock behavior. He traces reproduction in great detail from the competition of sperm in the oviduct to the position of the developed chick.

The author directs himself particularly to the chicken's beneficial effects on human life. In addition to recipes, he lists remedies concocted from chickens for many diseases, and the prescriptions provide a fascinating glimpse of the medical practices of the time. The chicken family, Aldrovandi suggests, is an admirable example of unity for the human family--provided the rooster's extraordinary lustfulness is not emulated.

As the well-known Italian zoologist Alessandro Ghigi points out in his foreword to this translation, "Aldrovandi on Chickens" contributes substantially to the history of science and the study of ornithology. The author's genius and unique style make the book an important representative of one of the golden ages of the intellect.

'A delightful read' RADIO TIMES 'Heartwarming tales' DAILY MAIL A celebration of the different creatures - great and small - that this Yorkshire vet has come to know and love. Yorkshire Vet Julian Norton has spent his days as a mixed practice vet treating animals across the bucolic Yorkshire Dales. Julian's voice and humour - well known from his titular role in Channel 5's long-running series The Yorkshire Vet - leap out from every page as stories of drama and excitement unfold. Whether treating dogs, cows or sheep, Julian has come to recognise and appreciate the very particular ways in which healthy and happy animals express their well-being and contentment. Lambs will skip and gambol, cows will ruminate placidly, and the gentle sounds and soft curious facial expression of alpacas or llamas are enough to lift the spirits and warm the coldest of hearts. Here in All Creatures, Julian tells the stories of each of the eight species he has the good fortune to care for every day. He shares the heart-warming and life-affirming characteristics of animal happiness and once again reminds us of the power these creatures have to bring joy to us all.
