The world of health is undergoing a significant evolution. There is a tangible sense of urgency and great expectation that affects everyone: patients, healthcare organizations, doctors and companies.
Electrocardiography of the dog and cat, 2nd edition provides all the theoretical and practical information necessary to understand and identify rhythm abnormalities. This text will be particularly useful to accurately diagnose complex arrhythmias using precise electrocardiographic criteria that the authors have developed by confirming mechanisms of arrhythmias with intracardiac electrophysiologic studies. This book is a must-have reference for anyone interested in learning the basics of electrocardiography and those who face the challenge of interpreting the most complex arrhythmias in a clinical or research setting.
Artificial insemination (AI) is an indispensable technique on swine farms, and its success depends primarily on semen quality. This handbook covers the key steps necessary to obtain high-quality processed semen and ensure successful AI. Essential practical considerations are clearly detailed in each chapter.
Handbook entirely dedicated to the most highlighted challenges of bovine reproduction in terms of ultrasound diagnosis. This publication has been developed with a practical and visual approach, using many resources (images, tables, flow charts, etc.) to help readers better interpret the contents.
Manuel Fernández Sánchez, author of the best seller The Oestrus Cycle of the Cow. A Photographic Atlas, now brings us his second book Reproduction and ultrasound examination in cattle, published by Servet. It offers a detailed comparison of the uterine and ovarian structures in all phases of the oestrous cycle. This publication is characterized by an original introduction to both photographic and ultrasound images of the different anatomical structures and their pathological conditions. In this way, the author succeeds in simplifying the interpretation of reproductive diagnosis using ultrasound, by guiding the reader and enabling him to visualise the structures on which ultrasonography is performed.
The cow’s peripartum period from a practical and dynamic point of view, explained through theoretical explanations and a huge collection of clinical cases. Normally, disorders or conditions occurring in the peripartum period are not independent events; they are the result of the interaction of several events occurring over time. The authors highlight here the importance of assessing bovine pathologies as a whole. It is the only manner for the clinician to anticipate conditions that may appear during the peripartum period.
Handy and rigorous book focused on the main bacterial infections in poultry farming. It combines relevant information when dealing with the diseases and scientific background information. Each chapter comprises the most updated information to better understand the various infections and numerous high-quality images have been included to complement the information provided.
Vaccination is one of the cornerstones of poultry production. In fact, it is one of the aspects that most influence production parameters in the poultry industry. In broilers, the optimum time of vaccination should aim at obtaining the maximum meat yield. In layers and breeders, both time and the route of administration have an influence in the quality of egg shells and the number of eggs per laying, among others.
This book provides a comprehensive review of in ovo techniques and treatments in poultry eggs, which are aimed at improving embryonic development and decreasing economic losses in poultry farms. The book is divided into four chapters, which address the basics of in ovo techniques and sites of in ovo injection, nutrient utilization for the development of the chick embryo, the role of early in ovo feeding for the chick embryo, and applications of in ovo technology for various nutrients and biological supplements in poultry.
This book helps the reader to interpret the reproductive status of the cow using an outstanding selection of photographs with an eminently practical focus. The carefully chosen images let the reader visualize what they are touching during an examination, and describe the more basic procedures, such as rectal palpation or artificial insemination. It also highlights the importance of using oestrus synchronization protocols in routine reproductive practice.
