As one of the former, I have begun to develop an eye for which books are of genuine help, and this is certainly one of those, proving to be an excellent source of material during my studies.Aligning with the idea that "prevention" is better than "cure", this textbook moves away from the sometimes traditional idea that the veterinary professional exists as a firefighter for disease management. Instead it promotes the maintenance of health and the proactive steps needed to achieve this. In a world where increasing scrutiny and criticism is focused towards the common overuse of animal medicine, this text is the ideal companion for anyone wishing to further improve production animal health and welfare. Complex areas are dealt with in a simple manner, with the removal of unnecessary jargon which often litters comparable textbooks. This results in a user-friendly resource which as a vet student in the process of learning my trade, is invaluable. Indeed, the sections upon both the clinical and post-mortem examinations of pigs is formatted in a step-by-step manner which provides not only a fantastic aid in the initial learning period but thereafter, a clear and concise reference point. Further to this, areas where particular delicacy or a refined technique are required, have been given additional room, ensuring complete guidance.Throughout the book, the text is supplemented with high quality illustrations which not only arouse interest in their aesthetic nature, but also provide visual clues, allowing easy comparison in the classroom and on the farm. I would also say from personal experience that the images improved my comprehension and enhanced the retrieval of knowledge throughout my studies- which at the end of the day cannot be beaten! Furthermore, each section of the book has accompanying linked video clips (found online). The comprehensive nature of these digital learning tools have enabled me to remotely learn, for whilst I may not carry the book on me at all times, I am very rarely separated from my phone!

CABI Publishing Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary
Book SynopsisGlobally, the way the animal production industry copes with infectious diseases is changing. The (excessive) use of antimicrobials is under debate and it is becoming standard practice to implement thorough biosecurity plans on farms to prevent the entry and spread of pathogenic micro-organisms. Not only in farm animal production, but also in facilities where companion animals are kept, including in veterinary practices and clinics, awareness of the beneficial implications of a good biosecurity plan has raised. The book Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine is the first compilation of both fundamental aspects of biosecurity practices, and specific and practical information on the application of the biosecurity measures in different animal production and animal housing settings. The book starts with a general introductory chapter on the epidemiology of infectious diseases, followed by a chapter explaining the general principles of biosecurity. Specific topics of biosecurity, including rodent and insect control, cleaning and disinfection, hygiene and decontamination of feed, drinking water and air, and measuring the biosecurity status of farms, are detailed in dedicated chapters. Explanations on the relevance of the implementation of biosecurity plans in order to improve animal health and performance and reduce antimicrobial usage are described, and a chapter on ways to motivate farmers to implement a biosecurity plan has been included.

Book SynopsisJames Herriot grew up in Glasgow and qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College. Shortly afterwards he took up a position as an assistant in a North Yorkshire practice where he remained, with the exception of his wartime service in the RAF, until his death in 1995. He wrote many books about Yorkshire country life, including some for children, but he is best known for his memoirs, beginning with If Only They Could Talk. The books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.Trade ReviewBulls with sunstroke, pigs on the run and a cake-eating Peke with a betting habit . . .

Schlutersche Bovine Anatomy: An Illustrated Text, Second
Book SynopsisBovine Anatomy provides the reader with detailed information on the structure, function, and clinical application of all bovine body systems and their interaction in the live animal. This expanded second edition now includes clinical anatomy and retains the topographical and systems based methods of anatomy used in the first edition. The topographic anatomy is accompanied by systematic illustrations of the bones, joints, muscles, organs, blood vessels, nerves, and lymph nodes for each body system. There are also tables containing detailed information on the muscles, lymph nodes, and peripheral nerves. The authors pay particular attention to the histology, growth, and function of the bovine hoof. In addition to the gross anatomy of the udder, its development, histology, and function are described and illustrated. One chapter is devoted to the pathology, pathogenesis, and molecular biology of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, scrapie of sheep and goats, and chronic wasting disease.Each page of text is followed by a full page of colour illustrations. The Second Edition also contains more than 70 new diagrams and clinical photographs. The book has long been acknowledged as a valuable reference for study and revision, and this new edition is an essential resource for practitioners and students alike.Trade Review…a `must-have’ book for anyone with an interest in bovine medicine… not only provides a detailed atlas of bovine anatomy; it also includes a comprehensive section on clinical anatomy… consistent layout of pages, with text on the left and drawings on the right… The large size is beneficial, the drawings are very clear and the illustration of structures from different angles makes a good visual aid for dissection; the colours are eye-catching and make it a pleasure just to leaf through the book… The coverage of material is comprehensive while remaining clinically relevant… The quality of the images and illustrations is superb and the descriptions of procedures are extremely helpful… very reasonable price–Renate Weller, Kate Holroyd, Andrea Turner and Peter Aitken, Veterinary Record, 22-Oct-2011Table of ContentsPrefaceTopographic AnatomyThoracic limb (A.

CABI Publishing Poultry Feathers and Skin: The Poultry Integument
Book SynopsisThe feathers and skin in birds are the first line of defence, but are also important in helping the bird to maintain a stable internal temperature, facilitate integral mobility and ensure successful mating in some species. For poultry, the physical conditions of feathers and skin are important barometers to assess the impact of management and ensure health and welfare. Based on the proceedings of a recent symposium, this book documents the significant developments that have been made in our understanding of the importance of the integument to poultry species.

CABI Publishing Poultry Health: A Guide for Professionals
Book SynopsisPoultry are a major source of valuable high-quality protein for much of the world's population, so food security is heavily dependent on maintaining poultry health. They are also increasingly important as specialist hobby animals in back-yard flocks. Despite this, veterinarians specializing in the care and health of these important domestic animals are few and far between, and many vets in small animal practice have little real experience of poultry health management and disease. Providing a comprehensive overview, this new handbook will help to plug this gap with 46 chapters of practical and accessible poultry health and management. The book: Covers the poultry industry, basic avian biology, infectious and non-infectious diseases and their agents, infection control, and disease investigation and legislation. Includes full colour images for ease of identification and diagnosis, in addition to practical guides to disease prevention. Considers areas of increasing global importance, such as antimicrobial resistance. Written by international experts, this book forms a valuable illustrated resource for veterinary professionals, veterinary students, or those entering the poultry industry.Table of ContentsSection 1: Poultry and the Poultry Industry Chapter 1: Basic Anatomy and Physiology.
