Description

This encyclopedic dictionary is the comprehensive resource for veterinary knowledge in livestock medicine, farm animal diseases and production management. It comprises the main domesticated species (cattle, sheep, goats, swine, poultry, and rabbits) in their production systems and covers the related fields of animal welfare, public health, as well as food inspection and processing.

Several hundred entries are richly illustrated and thoroughly prepared, tailored to species and cross-referencing them. Readers will find information on comparative animal anatomy and physiology, diseases and disorders, reproduction and obstetrics, nutrition, food safety and food processing for both monogastric and ruminant species. Every contribution was meticulously chosen to condense the current state-of-the-art, consistently applied to the specific contexts in medicine and animal husbandry.

Incorporating the concepts of good veterinary practices, one health, and sustainable development of livestock and poultry industries, this major reference work is a complete, evidence-based, and useful guide for veterinary medicine and animal production management serving students, veterinary practitioners, and academics alike.
