This unique work compiles the latest knowledge around veterinary
nutraceuticals, commonly referred to as dietary supplements, from
ingredients to final products in a single source. More than sixty
chapters organized in seven sections collate all related aspects of
nutraceutical research in animal health and disease, among them
many novel topics: common nutraceutical ingredients (Section-I),
prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, enzymes and antibacterial
alternatives (Section-II), applications of nutraceuticals in
prevention and treatment of various diseases such as arthritis,
periodontitis, diabetes, cognitive dysfunctions, mastitis, wounds,
immune disorders, and cancer (Section-III), utilization of
nutraceuticals in specific animal species (Section-IV), safety and
toxicity evaluation of nutraceuticals and functional foods
(Section-V), recent trends in nutraceutical research and product
development (Section-VI), as well as regulatory aspects for
nutraceuticals (Section-VII). The future of nutraceuticals and
functional foods in veterinary medicine seems bright, as novel
nutraceuticals will emerge and new uses of old agents will be
discovered. International contributors to this book cover a variety
of specialties in veterinary medicine, pharmacology, pharmacognosy,
toxicology, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry,
physiology, nutrition, drug development, regulatory frameworks, and
the nutraceutical industry. This is a highly informative and
carefully presented book, providing scientific insight for
academia, veterinarians, governmental and regulatory agencies with
an interest in animal nutrition, complementary veterinary medicine,
nutraceutical product development and research.
