The number of new technology vaccines available has been increased worldwide, as well as their widespread use in the poultry industry, especially at hatchery level. Therefore, an updated review with practical and visual approach has been developed in order to highlight the importance of hatchery vaccination in poultry farming, whatever the vaccination technique used (in ovo, subcutaneous or spray vaccination), to control the main diseases affecting this species (infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease, infectious laryngotracheitis, etc.). This handbook has been written by an expert with wide experience in this field. Numerous graphic resources have been included to complement the information provided and make the contents more understandable and accessible to readers.
The most updated information on avian influenza with a practical approach. The authors review the aetiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and control of avian influenza viruses. It also includes numerous graphic resources to make the contents more understandable to readers.
A vaccination failure occurs when the chickens do not develop suitable antibody titer levels and/or are susceptible to a field disease outbreak. Therefore, an updated review has been thoroughly developed in order to highlight the importance of detecting and solving the major vaccination failures in commercial chickens.
Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterized by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and eggshell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality.
In this comprehensive review of infectious bursal disease, the author uses graphic resources accompanied by short texts to describe the disease in an accessible manner. The information provided in this handbook will allow professionals to deal with this disease more effectively.
Atlas entirely dedicated to infectious bursal disease based on a practical and graphic approach of the topic. This handbook has been carried out by highly experienced authors closely involved with this disease in Africa, where its prevalence and incidence are significant. This updated work has been carefully developed including the most essential contents, so that it depicts a valuable tool to cope and control this virus as far as possible. Includes many helpful tips and visual graphic resources provided by the authors to enrich and turn this atlas into a reference in its field. Furthermore, diagnosis and vaccination have been thoroughly explained, highlighting vaccination programmes and types of vaccines. The atlas format helps to make the contents understandable for readers.
Updated review of Newcastle disease presented in a visual and practical manner. The chapter dedicated to the clinical diagnosis of the disease will surely be of great interest to the reader. The vaccination section provides the main guidelines to prevent vaccine failures and control the immunological status of the operation.
A visual atlas which describes –day by day– the hole process of embryonic development in order to be able to identify critical points in this process so a final and correct diagnosis can be established.
Vaccination is one of the cornerstones of poultry production. In fact, it is one of the aspects that most influence production parameters in the poultry industry. In broilers, the optimum time of vaccination should aim at obtaining the maximum meat yield. In layers and breeders, both time and the route of administration have an influence in the quality of egg shells and the number of eggs per laying, among others.
The goal of this work is to present the reader with the most common diseases that can produce immunosuppression in poultry, provide guidance for the diagnosis of immunosuppressive diseases, and examine the challenges that a diagnostician may face in confirming a diagnosis of immunosuppression. The book will feature an extensive collection of color photographs depicting gross and microscopic images.
This book provides veterinary surgeons with a global perspective on obesity in dogs and cats. Moreover, the information and therapeutic strategies presented within can help ensure that pet owners become fully involved in improving the health of their pets.
This book provides an understanding of climate change and other contributing factors in the emergence/reemergence of parasitic diseases in companion animals. It describes the known changes in the epidemiology of key parasite infections and highlights zoonotic threats, and is therefore a valuable resource for veterinary practitioners to manage risks and keep abreast of emerging/reemerging parasitic diseases of pets.
This book helps the reader to interpret the reproductive status of the cow using an outstanding selection of photographs with an eminently practical focus. The carefully chosen images let the reader visualize what they are touching during an examination, and describe the more basic procedures, such as rectal palpation or artificial insemination. It also highlights the importance of using oestrus synchronization protocols in routine reproductive practice.
