3* Doody's Star Rating (R) Proper handling and restraint are
essential to the welfare of captive animals, allowing them to be
examined, groomed and treated in ways that contribute to their
optimum quantity and quality of life. The aim of the book is to
prepare future or current veterinarians and veterinary
technologists, technicians/nurses, and assistants to be able to
handle animals more safely and gain the confidence of animals and
their owners. In turn, they will be able to instruct owners in
proper animal handling methods, reducing the risk of physical
injury or mutual infectious diseases. Covers more species and has
greater depth in handling and restraint methods of domestic animals
than any of its predecessors and current competitors. No other
handling book provides this breadth information on the possible
zoonoses (animal to human diseases) that might be encountered in
handling apparently healthy animals. Restraint methods are well
described but not in a list or "cookbook" way, as there are always
nuances in handling each individual animal that require individual
adaptations. Throughout the book, the author emphasises that each
animal is an individual and each handling environment provides its
own advantages and disadvantages: handling an animal safely,
humanely and efficiently requires practical knowledge of the
species' normal behaviour. This is explored in detail in each of
the species-based chapters, which cover proper handling of domestic
household and laboratory animals, as well as farm and ranch animals
where safe handling aids the producer in both humane practice and
greater profitability. After reading this book, the practitioner or
student will be versed in the most basic part of the art of
veterinary medicine: the safe handling of animals. The author's
podcast 'Better Animal Handling' is released every Tuesday at
http://www.buzzsprout.com/688886, discussing content in the book
and describing effective, humane animal handling with emphasis on
safety measures to prevent injury and the transmission of zoonotic
diseases. You can read more on the supporting website:
