Veterinary medicine is evolving all the time in terms of the range and scope of treatments on offer. This book offers students and practitioners of veterinary medicine the chance to gain an insight into some specific topics and latest developments, and draws on examples and case studies from different parts of the world. Subjects covered include artificial insemination; diagnostic techniques (e.g. electrocardiography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry); anesthesia; periodontal disease; tumors; psittacosis; worm infestation in poultry; infection control in pigs; blood profiling and growth performance in cattle; and bovine disorders including BRD, mastitis, non-infectious claw disorders and repeat breeder cow syndrome.
In addition, the book also contains a chapter on how veterinary medicine as a business is being influenced by current trends such as new regulations and the general reduction in livestock populations and increase in the numbers of small domestic animals.
This book will interest veterinary medicine practitioners across all specialisms and locations, whether urban or rural.
