A Bird's-Eye View of Veterinary Medicine

A Bird's-Eye View of Veterinary Medicine

Book Description: 


This book examines new developments covering a wide range of issues from health and welfare in livestock, pets, and wild animals to public health supervision and biomedical research. This book includes a selection of scientific articles which help to chart the advance of this science.
Veterinary medicine is advancing at a very rapid pace, particularly given the breadth of the discipline.
This book was produced during World Veterinary Year 2011, which marked the 250th anniversary of the veterinary profession. It provides a fittingly concise and enjoyable overview of the whole science of veterinary medicine.
The book is divided into several sections. The opening chapters cover the veterinary profession and veterinary science in general, while later chapters look at specific aspects of applied veterinary medicine in pets and in livestock. Finally, research papers are grouped by specialisms with a view to exploring progress in areas such as organ transplantation, therapeutic use of natural substances, and the use of new diagnostic techniques for disease control.
