This book describes in detail various aspects of fluoride toxicity
in animals. Animals, like human beings, suffer from the toxic
effects of excess fluoride intake. They show pathological changes
in their teeth and bone, together with a marked reduction in
appetite, productive and reproductive potentials, which can result
in severe economic losses in the dairy industry. Laboratory and
wild animals also suffer from this ailment. Animal suffering and
economic losses alike can be minimized through early diagnosis of
the problem and by adopting suitable preventive and therapeutic
measures. The book details the susceptibility of different animal
species, important sources of toxicity, clinical signs and
symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, preventive and
therapeutic approaches. It offers a valuable resource for
scientists working in the fields of toxicology, veterinary science,
animal nutrition, and environmental science, as well as for public
health workers, animal welfare activists, public health
veterinarians, field veterinarians, medical professionals and all
others interested in the subject.
Education is one of the primary factors that takes a country to the
ranks of developed nations. Nothing survives in modern society
without knowledge. Education is a complex term but if we narrow
down the meaning it remains as "an interaction between the teacher
and the taught." It is education that fits the pupil to
environment. The quality of school education is the outcome of the
quality of teachers and the teacher education system. Teachers are
the most critical agents of change, responsible for growth,
development and progress of societies and communities. They prepare
the next generations, and the level of their commitment, devotion
and dedication determines the future society. The role of teachers
is changing in current times, characterized by globalization and
liberalization and vast expansion of new information and
communication technologies. It is essential that all issues
critical to preparation of competent, committed and
willing-to-perform teachers be examined in depth, by all
stake-holders in the field of education. This study presents the
status of Self-financed English medium Teacher Education
Institutions of Gujarat with reference to various components.
