Book SynopsisScientists within human and animal science have extensively discussed the philosophy of medicine, but never have both sides communicated on their concepts of health, quality of life and welfare, with each other. This book aims to help clarify the difficult but central notions of health and welfare by comparing the human and animal variants of these concepts. Split into three parts this book starts by presenting a background of some of the major theories of human health and welfare, followed by a detailed discussion of theories on animal welfare and health. While the final part of the book tests a comprehensive conceptual framework of a holistic kind, which focuses on the individual's ability to achieve its vital goals.Trade Review"In this book, Lennart Nordenfelt makes a careful and thoughtful analysis of these concepts, based on a thorough reading of the veterinary and animal science literature combined with his own deep understanding of the parallel debates in the human health field. His analysis moves a cluttered and conflicted topic onto a higher plane."

Book SynopsisIn order to understand and manage animals in their natural or captive environments we must first understand why animals do what they do and recognize limitations in their ability to adapt to different environments. Drawing on the author’s considerable experience in both teaching and research, this introductory-level textbook describes the basic principles underlying animal behavior and how those concepts can be used in managing the care of domestic and captive wild animals, covering four key themes: development of behavior, biological rhythms, social behavior and behavioral aspects of animal management. Extensively illustrated with many practical examples and over 150 photos and figures.Table of Contents1: Interaction of Heredity and Environment 2: Behavior Genetics 3: Early Experience 4: Learning 5: Biological Rhythms 6: Mating Systems and Reproduction 7: Male Sexual Behavior 8: Female Sexual Behavior 9: Maternal Behavior 10: Communication 11: Agonistic Behavior 12: Social Organization 13: Personal Space and Social Dynamics 14: Human-Animal Interactions 15: Animal Handling and Movement 16: Atypical Behavior and Behavioral Therapy

Book SynopsisBeginning with their sources, including manure and animal feed, and detailing their development, spread and transmission to humans, Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain gives an insightful introduction to and epidemiological overview of the problems raised by zoonotic pathogens. The authors specifically examine the attributes of microorganisms that allow potential contamination of food sources and the factors in modern animal production processes that contribute to the risk of infection. Chapters discuss in detail pathogens that have recently emerged as important sources of infection, investigating in depth the implications of avian flu, swine flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathies and Johne's disease for human consumers, and considering where potential mitigation strategies should be focused.

Book SynopsisZoonotic diseases pose a serious threat to global health and economy. Domestic and wild birds play crucial roles in transmission and spread of important zoonotic pathogens, with significant implications on human and avian health. Although zoonotic diseases have been extensively studied, information on various aspects of avian zoonotic pathogens have not been revisited or revised to any great extent. This book is a comprehensive and updated compilation of important zoonotic diseases that are transmitted by domestic and wild birds, and consists of 21 chapters that meticulously describe the (i) etiology and evolution, (ii) complex epidemiology, such as migration pathways in context of disease transmission, (iii) pathogenesis, (iv) clinical signs and necropsy findings, (v) diagnostics including latest molecular assays, and (vi) preventative and control strategies, with an emphasis on therapeutics and prophylaxis, of important zoonotic pathogens (bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral) of avian origin in humans and birds. Each chapter is aptly supported by interactive tables and figures, and features an updated reference section. This book aims to create awareness and enlighten students of veterinary and human medicine on the role of birds in zoonoses, and would serve as a useful reference for working veterinarians, human doctors, and public health experts.Table of ContentsChapter 1_Introduction and Objectives.- Chapter 2.

Book SynopsisThis book describes the fundamentals of microfluidics and fabrication methods of microfluidic devices that can be adopted for animal-assisted reproduction. It presents microfluidic methods for sorting highly fertile spermatozoa. This book also describes the application of microfluidics in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. It discusses the use of microfluidics in sperm sexing and the cryopreservation of animal gametes and embryos. Lastly, the book examines the potential opportunities of microfluidics in infertility diagnosis, sperm selection and guidance, oocyte selection, insemination, and embryo monitoring. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction to Microfluidics and animal reproductive techniques.- Chapter 2. Principles, materials and fabrication methods of microfluidics.- Chapter 3. Microfluidics and non-microfluidics methods of sperm sorting and sperm analysis.- Chapter 4. Applications of microfluidcs for in vitro fertilization and embryo Culture.- Chapter 5. Microlfuidics in cryoreservation of animal gametes and embryos.- Chapter 6. New hope for sperm sexing: possible role of microfluidics.

Book SynopsisThis book reviews the etiology of major zoonotic diseases, their impact on human health, and control mechanisms for better management. It also examines factors influencing transmission, diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of zoonotic diseases caused by different human pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and parasites. It also introduces zoonoses with a wildlife reservoir and discusses different transmission modes, and factors that influence the epidemiology of zoonoses. It further discusses the holistic strategies for the cost-effective prevention and control of these zoonoses. Towards the end, the book also discusses infections that have spread from non-human primates to humans and strategies to improve disease control and elimination. This book is very useful for students, academicians, and researchers of veterinary sciences, veterinary medicine, and, veterinary public health.Table of Contents ) Chapter 1- ZOONOSES • Definition • Classification • Origin, emergence and re-emergence of zoonoses • Evolution of methods of managing/controlling zoonoses 2) Chapter 2-VIRAL ZOONOSES A) Human to human transmission (1-129) 1.
