Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Sharon Smith, Felicity George andMarie-Louise Holmes

Traditionally equine behaviour guidance has come from an understanding of the outward behaviour of the horse and modifying that behaviour. Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses goes much deeper into the inner workings of the horse, drawing parallels from human psychology and looking at what is going on in the horse’ s brain leading to that behaviour. This understanding is then applied to addressing outward behaviour issues, so that horse and owner can work together in a more horse-centric way to resolve issues. The book’ s approach is innovative and challenges traditional thinking. Applied Equine Psychology: The Art and Science of Helping Horses is highly illustrated and combines research and the latest concepts with practical, readable advice.

Common Reproductive Disorders in Cattle: Farmer’s Guide

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Khursheed Ahmad Sofi

Common Reproductive Disorders in Cattle: Farmer’s Guide is an easy and comprehensible guide for dairy farmers. It covers many aspects of different reproductive diseases commonly found in dairy cattle related to infertility with practical information for farmers. Improving fertility is a common goal for dairy herds or livestock owners, and getting cows pregnant in a timely manner is important in maintaining a profitable dairy business. Scientific management of dairy cattle is indispensable for achieving optimum reproductive efficiency and to reduce losses due to various reproductive diseases leading to infertility, which is one of the major causes for economic loss to farmers and makes dairy farming economically unviable.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance to manage the most probable causes leading to reproductive failures in cows with early intervention in order to reduce their economic impact in dairy cows. This can be possible through improving the know-how of the farmers concerned with rearing of cattle, as is expected with the help of the book.

Canine Dermatopathology: A Colour Atlas PDF Download

By N. Pazhanivel, C. Balachandran, Ganne Venkata Sudhakar Rao, D. Sumathi, P. C. Prabu, and R. Saahithya

Canine Dermatopathology: A Colour Atlas recognizes the complexity of dermatological cases and emphasizes the importance of a structured diagnostic approach. In addition to addressing common health problems in pet animals, particularly dogs, the book explores a myriad of aetiologies, including ecto/endoparasitic infestations, contact allergens, physical causes, radiation, infectious causes (bacterial, viral, fungal infections), immunological causes, nutritional/metabolic disorders, and endocrine imbalances. It also emphasizes the prevalence of secondary infections and guides veterinarians in successfully managing dermatological cases.

Canine Dermatopathology: A Colour Atlas highlights the significance of specific tests, such as skin scrapings, fungal and bacterial culture, cytological evaluation, and skin biopsy. Cytology emerges as a highly efficient and valuable examination that facilitates rapid lesion evaluation and guides subsequent diagnostic steps. Histopathology, when coupled with clinical findings, leads to definitive diagnoses, especially in cases involving neoplastic nodules or conditions with poor responses to previous therapy.
With a focus on cytology, gross morphology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry, the book equips veterinarians with the knowledge needed for accurate and early diagnosis and treatment of various skin conditions in dogs. It serves as both a ready reckoner and an educational tool for the readers.
