Production Diseases in Farm Animals
Production Diseases in Farm Animals
Author(s): Edited by Nanda Joshi and Thomas H. HerdtThis publication contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals. Production diseases are those disorders associated with the management and breeding of animals for intense agricultural production. They include not only metabolic and nutritional diseases, but also infectious and genetic disorders for which animals may be at increased risk due to modern agricultural practices. The occurrence of production diseases has relevance not only to production economics, but also to animal welfare, making the study of production disease of continuing importance in the advancement of animal agriculture. Evolving techniques of molecular genetics have helped advance the study of production disease and have lead to exciting advances in this pursuit.
Important production disease topics covered in this volume include:
- Transition cow biology and management
- 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 and reproduction
- Trace mineral nutrition and metabolism
- Subclinical rumen acidosis This book is essential to scientists, veterinarians and others interested in animal production.
