Atlas of Veterinary Hematology: Blood and Bone Marrow of Domestic Animals

By John W. Harvey

Atlas of Veterinary Hematology: Blood and Bone Marrow of Domestic Animals PDF is designed as a reference for the morphologic aspects of veterinary hematology of common domestic animals. It covers a variety of species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and llamas. The atlas is divided into two sections, the first covers blood, while the second discusses bone marrow. Techniques for the collection and preparation of blood and bone marrow spears and bone marrow core biopsies are covered in addition to the morphology of the tissues collected. Often, multiple examples of a cell type or abnormal condition are shown to illustrate the variance in morphology.

Equine Clinical Medicine Surgery and Reproduction

By Graham Munroe and Scott Weese

Equine Clinical Medicine Surgery and Reproduction PDF. The internationally respected editors and authors have combined to produce this major new textbook and reference source in a single volume, covering all aspects of equine medicine, surgery, and reproduction. The text is supported by a wealth of over 1200 illustrations of the highest quality: color photographs, radiographic and ultrasound images, and diagrams.

Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction is system-based and each individual system is introduced with precise information on the relevant basic anatomy and physiology, standard clinical examination techniques and useful differential diagnostic aids. This is followed by diseases and disorders that are pertinent to that system, grouped together either anatomically or based on presenting clinical signs. Each condition is described using consistent headings: definition/overview, etiology and pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, management/treatment, and prognosis. Additional chapters deal with the foal, with wounds and behavioral problems.

The focus throughout is on providing clinically relevant information required for practical case management, plus sufficient background on causes and disease processes to enable readers to understand the conditions and the rationale for diagnostic and treatment options.

This book is of lasting value as a teaching and training resource for equine specialists, a ready reference for non-specialist practitioners, and a textbook for students in veterinary medicine and related equine courses

Manual of Veterinary Clinical Chemistry: A Case Study Approach

By Leslie C. Sharkey and Judith Radin

Manual of Veterinary Clinical Chemistry: A Case Study Approach PDF provides veterinary students and non-specialist with a guide to effective use and interpretation of clinical chemistry laboratory methods in domestic animals. The 100+ case studies involve real patients and findings in dogs, cats, horses, lamas, alpacas, pot belled pigs and ferrets. These consist of patient history, physical examination findings, and clinicopthologic data such as CBC, urinalysis, cytology or fluid analysis. A summary is given for each patient that includes a description of follow up tests and response to treatment. Multiple cases of common diseases illustrate the variety of clinciopathologic findings with the same diagnosis depending on individual patient factors. Diagnostic dilemmas in which different diseases may present with similar clinical signs and laboratory data are also included.

Published by Teton New Media in the USA and distributed by CRC Press outside of North America.

Precision Livestock Farming Applications: Making Sense of Sensors to Support Farm Management

By Ilan Halachmi

Precision Livestock Farming Applications: Making Sense of Sensors to Support Farm Management PDF. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) technology is a reality. PLF is a combination of developing animal sensing (sensors) tools and decision-making process at the farm level. It also has the potential to support animal feed suppliers, human-food retailers and other players along the supply chain to make better choices. The current challenge for PLF is the integration of the technology in the majority of the farms and not only to the pioneering farms.This book consist of full-length peer-reviewed papers combined with ‘questions and answers’ sections. It is the result of a joint session hosted by the European Association of Animal Production and brings together research focusing on real-time interpretation of the combination of sensor development, industry, animal genetics, animal nutrition, and animal health.Unique of this ‘cross-disciplinary’ approach is that ‘animal-focused’ scientists, engineers, companies as well as farmers’ organizations have interacted and combined their strengths and views. ‘Precision Livestock Farming Applications – Making sense of sensors to support farm management’ provides an update on the state of the art of PLF in interaction with the other scientific and applicative expertise. It is of interest for researchers, students, professionals, farmers, and livestock industry concerned with livestock production management.
