Free Download Antimicrobials in Livestock 2: Choices of Prevention and Treatment: A European Perspective
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031608062 | 406 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 36 MB
This second volume of the two-volumes work "Antimicrobials in Livestock" offers an in-depth look at the antimicrobials commonly used in veterinary medical care of the major food producing animals pigs, poultry and cattle as well as horses, bringing to readers’ attention also pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of these drugs. The individual chapters also provide a brief description of preventive tools as well as alternatives to conventional treatment options that could help minimise the use of antibiotics and combat the problems caused by increasing antimicrobial resistance. The focus is on Europe, without neglecting the global context.

Free Download Sustainable Use of Feed Additives in Livestock: Novel Ways for Animal Production by Georgios Arsenos, Ilias Giannenas
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 962 Pages | ISBN : 3031428544 | 58.2 MB
This book offers a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research on feed additives for a sustainable animal production, including insects and aquaculture. In five clearly structured sections, the sources of feed additives, details on their biochemistry, feed security as well as specific applications for individual farm animal species, livestock health and product characteristics (meat, milk and eggs) find attention. International expert authors provide a full description on the use of aromatic plants, extracts and essential oils as feed additives alone or in combination with functional feeds of different categories.

Free Download Biotechnological Interventions Augmenting Livestock Health and Production
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819922089 | 823 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 30 MB
This book comprehensively discusses the applications of molecular genetics, functional and structural genomics, and proteomics vis-a-vis bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and robotics in livestock healthfulness and productivity. It reviews the biotechnological approaches in veterinary sciences for increasing productivity and resistance to disease. The book emphasizes the approaches based on artificial intelligence to analyze the data collected on animals, pathogens, and their environment. It underscores artificial intelligence applications in disease diagnosis, epidemiological studies, and detecting biological phenomena, including heat-detection, pregnancy, docility, and infections. Further, the book examines the genomics and proteomics approaches for understanding the gut microbiota and the role of pathogen-host interactions in animal health and disease. Lastly, it explores both pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbial transfer between humans, animals, and the environment across one health spectrum.
