Clinical Veterinary Toxicology
By Konnie Plumlee

Book Description:

This book covers all aspects of toxicology, including toxic diseases of large animals, small animals, and exotic pets. It provides key information on how poisons affect the body, how the body responds to a foreign substance, how poisonings are diagnosed, and how poisonings are treated.

Ocular Tumors in Animals and Humans
By Robert L. Peiffer, Kenneth B. Simons
Ist Edition

Book Description:

The application of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) can assist in improving and optimising the diagnosis, prognosis, control, treatment and ultimately the welfare of animals. It can also provide the user with a methodology for appropriate, patient orientated life-long, self-directed, learning. To practise evidence-based veterinary medicine we require a range of skills that we may not have.
This book will explain what evidence-based veterinary medicine is and show how it can be applied to veterinary practice to improve the quality of care for patients and provide informed choices for owners. It will provide the reader with a toolkit of skills necessary to practise evidence-based veterinary medicine.
The authors explain how to:
· Transform information needs into a series of clinical questions that can be answered
· Search for best available external evidence
· Critically appraise the evidence for its validity and importance
· Apply the results in clinical practice
· Understand the process of diagnosis and use of clinical diagnostic decision support systems
· Perform a decision analysis

This book is aimed at practitioners but will be of interest to veterinary surgeons at any stage of their training or career wishing to learn about EBVM.
The authors are responsible for devising and teaching an EBVM course at the veterinary school at Cambridge.

Veterinary Biochemistry & Biotechnology
By Mohd. Amanullah

Book Description:

Undergraduate Veterinary students assume Biochemistry to be a terror among all the subjects. The fear in this aspect is just because of their sudden exposure to a vast knowledge available in basic sciences, especially in Biochemistry. Inorder to overcome this nightmare, there was an urgent need to prepare a text book for Veterinary Sciences which put forth a brief description of Biochemistry, just enough to understand the other subjects required to complete the B.V.Sc. & A.H course. Hence this book "Veterinary Biochemistry & Biotechnology" is prepared keeping in view the immature minds of the students who just entered a professional course. No doubt that there are a number of books, available in the market embedding very many details of each and every aspect of Biochemistry, but this books gives only the basic information in the form of short notes in a very simple language. Understanding a glossary of terminnologies in English itself becomes a great task for the students. Had this course been designed in the individual's mother tongue then, more than half of the course would have been easier.

Horse Behaviour and Welfare
By Martine Hausberger, Eva Søndergaard, William Martin-Rosset
1st Edition

Book Description:

Horse behaviour and welfare is a major issue as horses are mainly sport and recreational animals where the human-animal relation is essential. Scientific studies on this topic have increased greatly over the last decade and this publication enlightens some of the major issues raised such as horse temperament, early experience, horsing and social management and equine behaviour welfare. Precise studies are described here, that are placed in the more general context of the international scientific advances. Important behavioural aspects concern: how to measure temperament traits and the genetic/experimental influences on temperament, when, how and whether to handle foals in order to improve human/foal relation, the importance of the social environment on the behaviour of young and adult horses. On the other hand, the improvement of equine welfare through better practices is described such as housing design, feeding practices or social grouping. The use of behavioural cues in order to assess welfare is discussed and tested through experimental approaches. This book constitutes a very rich overview of the recent and new research lines in the field of horse behaviour and welfare.

A Color Atlas of Avian Anatomy
By J. McLelland

Book Description:

This colour atlas provides an introduction to how birds are constructed. It is concerned principally with the economically important species, but, where their anatomy significantly differ, the more common caged birds are dealt with. The book is planned around certain body systems including the integument and skeleton and digestive, urogenital and respiratory tracts. Lymphoid tissue, blood vessels and nerves are dealt with as they occur in association with these systems. In some instances, a straight topographical approach is taken. Most of the photographs are of fresh, unfixed material, some were taken with the aid of a dissecting microscope. The photographs are accompanied by a short text which identifies the various features and explains their function.

Atlas of Topographical Anatomy of the Domestic Animals
By Peter Popesko
2nd Edition

Book Description:

Latin/English Version
This is easily the best multi-species anatomical atlas there is for domestic animals. It covers Cattle, Horses, Goats, Sheep, Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits (although Cattle and Horses are covered in greater detail than the others). The illustrations are very clear and full of detail. As far as I can tell it has been out of print for quite awhile, but this is not due to the book being outdated - as far as I'm concerned the newer anatomy atlases on the market today do not come close. If you are interested in Large animal anatomy I would not hesitate to pick one of these classics up (even if it ends up costing twice as much as a current alternative)
