This guide describes the main events that take place during the dry period, both in the udder and in the cow, and shows how they can influence the subsequent lactation period. The book also provides basic guidelines for a proper drying-off technique and management of cows during this period in order to reduce the prevalence of intramammary infections and achieve optimal milk production.
This book serves as a useful tool for learning about the most common diseases of tilapia (both red and Nile) raised in intensive and semi-intensive systems. It covers both macroscopic and microscopic lesions as well as elements of production and parameters of water quality which are critical to determining the health and disease of these fish.
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.
The cow’s peripartum period from a practical and dynamic point of view, explained through theoretical explanations and a huge collection of clinical cases. Normally, disorders or conditions occurring in the peripartum period are not independent events; they are the result of the interaction of several events occurring over time. The authors highlight here the importance of assessing bovine pathologies as a whole. It is the only manner for the clinician to anticipate conditions that may appear during the peripartum period.
