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.
In Ovo Techniques and Treatments in Poultry Eggs
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 utilisation 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. Thanks to the authors’ broad experience in the fields of research and education, this work contains up-to-date, scientifically validated information on in ovo techniques. Its structured format and clear, didactic style are aimed at facilitating the reader’s understanding. Altogether, this is a must-have for nutritionists, poultry breeders and farmers, veterinary professionals, clinicians and researchers who work in the poultry sector.

This atlas compiles clinical cases and images of pathological conditions. It will be very helpful for any vet needing to recognise macroscopical and microscopical lesions in sheep.
Technical work mainly focused on the management of pig farms working with hyperprolific genetics, which almost completely monopolize the market in this species in both productive and reproductive terms. The author, a renowned experienced specialist in swine genetics, provides key information to facilitate the management of these lines by veterinary professionals.
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.
This guide on Lawsonia intracellularis infections in swine describes the epidemiology of the disease and how to achieve good control mechanisms and minimize risks in order to optimize performance and prevent associated losses. Fully illustrated throughout with color images, it makes a useful resource for veterinary and animal science students as well as farm managers and veterinary practitioners.
This handbook complements the former book by the same author, Swine disorders guide, published by Servet in 2014. This new guide is focused on the diagnosis of swine disorders, including clinical examination and clinical signs, and includes a deep review of the main disorders according to their clinical signs.
