Production Diseases In Farm Animals: 12th International Conference
ByNanda P. Joshi, Thomas H. Herdt
Production Diseases in Farm Animals PDF. High-producing farm animals are permanently challenged by a variety of factors: lack of proper nutrition (deficit/surplus), housing systems, infections and stress. The incidence, course and outcome of production diseases are changing continuously. Therefore new information on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of production diseases is needed. These problems are complicated by the discussion of animal welfare, the rapid changes in agricultural production and the economics of production.
The following key topics are handled:
Fatty liver in dairy cows
Alternatives to growth-promoting antibiotics
Chronic inflammation and animal production
Animal behavior and welfare in intensive production systems
Epidemiology of production diseases
New techniques in immunoprophylaxis
Nutrition-immunology and production-immunology relationships
Phosphorus nutrition: animal health and environmental concerns
Application of genomics to production disease
Role of specific fatty acids in animal health, reproduction, and performance
Trace mineral nutrition and metabolism
Subclinical rumen acidosis
