This open access book contains 13 contributions on global animal
law, preceded by an introduction which explains key concepts and
methods. Global Animal Law refers to the sum of legal rules and
principles (both state-made and non-state-made) governing the
interaction between humans and other animals, on a domestic, local,
regional, and international level. Global animal law is the
response to the mismatch between almost exclusively national
animal-related legislation on the one hand, and the global
dimension of the animal issue on the other hand. The chapters lay
some historical foundations in the ius naturae et gentium, examine
various aspects of how national and international law traditionally
deals with animals as commodity; and finally suggest new legal
concepts and protective strategies. The book shows numerous entry
points for animal issues in international law and at the same time
shifts the focus and scope of inquiry.
This book is the second volume in the series Livestock Diseases and
Management, and reviews the importance and implications of animal
origin viral zoonoses. It also highlights the specific etiology and
epidemiology of these viral infections and discusses their various
biological and mechanical transmission mechanisms. Further, the
book reviews various measures for controlling viral zoonoses and
examines novel therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Discussing
recent studies on the pathogenesis and host immune response to
these infections, it underscores the importance of using vaccines
against these viral diseases to reduce the risk of them being
transmitted to humans.Lastly, it describes in detail the challenges
posed by these viral infections and our readiness to face them.

Over thousands of years the horse's teeth have evolved to be
hard-wearing and efficient in biting through plant material and
grinding food to make it digestible. However, man's domestication
of the horse has resulted in numerous potential problems in this
area, with ill-fitting bits and inappropriate diet, as well as
natural factors such as disease, parasites and old age all posing
potential hazards. Understanding the Horse's Teeth and Mouth
explains in accessible terms what equine dental care involves, why
good dental care is important for the horse and how oral conditions
can affect not only the way the horse eats, but also its health,
behaviour and movement.

This book presents a concept for implementing a mass balance
approach toward developing an effective eco-friendly, livestock
farming system independent of external energy input. In this
context it describes a modern, integrated farming system, and
includes comprehensive technical information explaining the design
and evaluation of manure management systems, and modeling and
operational tools. It first discusses the mass balance operating
process, highlighting the difference between imported and exported
mass across the farm boundary. Estimating mass balance can provide
critical information for (comprehensive) nutrient management
planning and for managing the movement of nutrients and manure. It
then explains the estimation of whole-farm P mass balance using a
suitable model system. The subsequent chapters provide updated
information on management aspects of livestock-farming and
generation of multiple job opportunities, and also explore various
aspects of livestock farming operational protocols like housing and
management; nurture of rams, ewes and lambs, new born calves and
heifers; care of buck, doe and kid- nutrition flushing; concept
zero grazing-systems; disease control and management; integrated
goat farming; and crop-livestock integration. Further, the book
addresses crop-livestock integration; energy autonomy in cattle
farming; value added biopharmaceuticals from cattle farming; CAPEX
for cattle farming; concepts of cattle farming; detrimental effects
of the industry; topographic and edaphic factors, and thermal
stress on livestock growth and development; socioeconomic
development; and water requirements for livestock. The book
concludes with the most important issue in the field of agriculture
and veterinary science: "Livestock Farming with Care," describing
sustainable, eco-friendly livestock farming by highlighting issues
like animal feed vs. human food; agricultural GDP vs livestock, and
factors affecting the sustainability of livestock farming. Given
its scope, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and
students alike, and will also appeal to practitioners in the field
of livestock.
