Animal Welfare at Slaughter

By A. Velarde, Mohan Raj, and Temple Grandin

The welfare of production animals at slaughter is a major veterinary concern, with debate on questions such as the degree of stunning required, how sentient animals are of their surroundings, slaughterhouse conditions, and how quickly animals lose consciousness after having their throats cut in religious slaughter practices. This research monograph provides a thoroughly scientific evidence-based account of the physiology and behaviour of animals for slaughter, analysis of the different killing methods, legislation and operating procedures, lairage and movement, as well as depopulation and handling. Animal Welfare at Slaughter is mainly aimed at animal welfare officers and policy makers, veterinary and meat inspectors and slaughterhouse auditors. However, this will also be a reliable resource for veterinary and animal science students, and the informed public. The Animal Welfare series covers current topics in animal welfare, to further research and inform the scientific, policy-making, and farming communities.

Table of Contents

Physiology and behavior of food animals

Reception and unloading of animals

Lairage and handling

Practical methods to improve animal handling and restraint

Mechanical stunning and killing methods

Electrical stunning and killing methods

Animal Architecture

By Mike Hansell

Animal Architecture PDF. This monograph on the biology of animal building embraces all groups, from simple invertebrates to primate toolmakers. It looks at the behavioral and anatomical equipment animals have in order to build, as well as the materials available to them. It examines how architects are able, singly or collectively, to produce complex structures often much larger than themselves. It also looks at the costs of building, the properties of completed structures, the ecological impact of them ,and their effects on the evolution of animal builders.

Animal Behavior: Animal Communication

By Stephen M Tomecek

Animal Behavior: Animal Communication PDF. The act of communicating is not just a human trait. From insects and birds to fish and mammals, most animals use some type of communication to help them get food, find a mate, and protect their territory. “”Animal Communication”” explores the many different ways in which animals communicate and examines some of the latest scientific discoveries involving animal intelligence and communication. Readers will also learn how scientists are working to make the dream of communicating directly with animals a reality.

Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain

By Denis O. Krause and Stephen Hendrick

Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain Book PDF. Beginning with their sources, including manure and animal feed, and detailing their development, spread and transmission to humans, Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain gives an insightful introduction to and epidemiological overview of the problems raised by zoonotic pathogens. The authors specifically examine the attributes of microorganisms that allow potential contamination of food sources and the factors in modern animal production processes that contribute to the risk of infection. Chapters discuss in detail pathogens that have recently emerged as important sources of infection, investigating in depth the implications of avian flu, swine flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathies and Johne’s disease for human consumers, and considering where potential mitigation strategies should be focused. With a focus on new trends in animal production, such as organic livestock farming and raw milk consumption, this text provides an interesting and up-to-date reference for researchers, academics and those with an interest in pathology working in the livestock industry.

Table of Contents

Globalization of the food supply and the spread of disease

Epidemiology of pathogens in the food supply

Manure as a source of zoonotic pathogens

Animal feed as a source of zoonotic pathogens

Air Quality and Livestock Farming

By Thomas Banhazi, Andres Aland and Jörg Hartung

Air Quality and Livestock Farming PDF. Air quality has a direct influence on health, welfare and production performance of livestock as the high concentrations of noxious gases, dust and airborne microorganisms are likely to reduce production efficiency and the general welfare of farm animals. Long term exposure to particulates in livestock buildings might also affect the respiratory health of farm workers. Dust in animal buildings contains many biologically active substances such as bacteria, fungi, endotoxins and residues of antibiotics (as a result of veterinary treatments) that are suspected to be hazardous to human health. Furthermore, air pollutants emitted from livestock buildings can reduce air, water and soil quality and can potentially undermine the health of nearby residents. Airborne emissions include ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide, particulates like dust and microorganisms. In addition, other potentially harmful substances such as heavy metals, antibiotic residues and components of disinfectants might be also emitted from livestock building that are potentially damaging to ecosystems.
In this book, key aspects of agricultural air quality, such as monitoring, managing and reducing airborne pollutants in and around livestock facilities are reviewed.

addressing the raising awareness of the importance of optimal health and welfare for lifestock species

This book will be useful for farming professionals, academics, students, policy makers, business leaders, regulatory bodies and agricultural consultants.
