Dairy herd health is an important and universal topic in large
animal veterinary practice and farming, covering both preventive
medicine and health promotion. With the move towards large-scale
farming, the health of the herd is important as an economic unit
and to promote the health of the individuals within it. This book
focuses on diseases within herds, herd husbandry practices,
youngstock management and environmental issues. Major diseases and
conditions are covered, including mastitis, lameness, nutrition,
metabolic and common infectious diseases from a herd health
perspective. It is an essential resource for veterinary
practitioners and students, researchers and dairy industry
personnel.
No one wants to think about getting older. It's true. At any age,
when things are moving along normally day to day and everyone seems
fit and well, there seems no reason to think about future problems
that your friends and relatives might (and probably will) come
across as they age. In fact, it might even seem a little morbid to
think such thoughts, or possibly even tempting fate? Yet there will
come a time when you must raise these issues and, ideally, this
should be before any problems arise. The Essential Family Guide to
Caring for Older People is the ultimate source of information and
help for families with care responsibilities. Deborah Stone draws
on her extensive experience working in elder care to offer
practical advice on every aspect of the field indepth. Topics range
from how to get help immediately, legal information, care funding
options, a guide to useful technology and advice on the main
physical and mental health issues that affect older people. Plus
guidance is given on dealing with social services and ensuring you
choose the right care for your situations. Crucially, the book also
offers help on how to cope as a carer with practical advice on
juggling family, work and your caring responsibilities while
looking after yourself.
