This series on veterinary health care has the emphasis on large breeds and livestock. Throughout the series, attention is focused on good husbandry, housing nutrition, management, prevention and treatment of disease, to promote animal health and to ensure maximum productivity. This book takes a holistic approach to the consideration of the health and welfare of the farm animal. Each chapter of the book examines an individual topic in animal husbandry: defining what constitutes the health and welfare of the animal, and looking at various methods of assessment. The book investigates worldwide legislation and private health schemes to control the spread of animal diseases. It assesses the effects of new breeding techniques, genetic engineering and the increased worldwide government involvement in animal production and examines the role played by animal welfare societies on animal health. The book is suitable for those on veterinary medicine and surgery courses, postgraduate diplomas in animal health and those taking livestock husbandry, agricultural degrees and diplomas, as well as a reference volume for animal welfare organizations throughout the world.
