Klappentext
This textbook deals comprehensively with livestock production diseases and their prevention in the major species: ruminants, swine, and poultry. It gives an interdisciplinary view on pathophysiology, prophylaxis, and health management.Livestock breeding and husbandry is often accompanied by a conflict of interest between the animal s biological requirements and economic producer needs. This conflict is increasingly gaining attention not only by producers, animal scientists, and veterinarians, but also by the public. It creates significant future challenges, which are described and addressed in this book. The main topics covered are:
the use of antimicrobials with emphasis on security and safety for producers / consumers the impact of locomotion disorders on performance and welfare of farm animals
the interactions of gut microbiome, genetics, climate change, metabolic status and mineral homeostasis with reproduction, performance, animal health and welfare
infectious and respiratory diseases
the raising of neonates
A special section is devoted to behavioural signs indicating an impaired animal welfare. These are the basis for precision livestock farming (PLF) technology and the development of new management concepts.
The present work is a valuable resource for veterinarians, students, as well as expert readers from animal and agricultural sciences, food safety and technology.
