This book highlights the latest findings and techniques related to nutrition and feed efficiency in animal agriculture. It addresses the key challenges facing the nutrition industry to achieve high animal productivity with minimal environmental impact. The concept of smart nutrition involves the use of smart technologies in the feeding and management of livestock.The first chapters focus on advances in biological fields such as molecular agriculture and genotype selection, as well as technologies that enhance or enable the collection of relevant information. The next section highlights applications of smart nutrition in a variety of livestock systems, ranging from intensive indoor housing of broilers and pigs to extensive outdoor housing of cattle and sheep, and marine fish farms. Finally, because of the worldwide attention to this issue, the authors address the environmental consequences.This work, which takes a serious look at how nutrition can be usedto improve sustainability in animal agriculture, is a key literature for readers in animal and veterinary sciences, the food industry, sustainability research, and agricultural engineering.

Do cephalopods change color when under distress? Is the reptilian heart analogous to a diaphragm positive displacement pump? Are digital twins the answer for animal experimentation? This book explores the new field of veterinary engineering science and discusses how to better measure vital signs in exotic and companion animals. A vast opportunity exists for developing novel technologies that target reductions to the number of invasive procedures patients are subjected to. We examine improvements to animal care and enhancement of animal welfare while creating a more sustainable veterinary healthcare ecosystem. The authors address the challenges engineers face in designing healthcare equipment for animals and how the field of veterinary engineering contributes to traditional veterinary medicine. This book brings a novel field of engineering to train future veterinarians and engineers on design and application of technology to veterinary medicine.Serves as a learning resource for the training and education of veterinary students, veterinarians and engineersDemonstrates through experiments and case studies the merging point between engineering and veterinary medicineDiscusses concepts and issues associated with engineering and veterinary medicineIllustrates veterinary challenges using an engineering-design approachProvides examples of veterinary applications with successful outcomes, incorporating step-by-step directions for engineers

In many parts of the world, the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals is partially or completely banned. This has led to increased research to develop alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs). Some of these alternatives include prebiotics, probiotics, and phytoadditives. This book focuses on probiotics, which are the most feasible option to replace AGPs because they directly modulate the gut microbiota and improve gut absorption, which ultimately accelerates growth and production. The book provides recent updates on the use of probiotics in farm animals including poultry, fish, and ruminants as well as pet animals.

Introduction to Diseases, Diagnosis, and Management of Dogs and Cats covers the diseases of dogs and cats and their remedial measure after drug application. The book describes disease evaluation and its pathogenesis, identification of pathogens and their severity to animals, exhibition of disease manifestation, and preventive and treatment strategies to counteract the etiopathogenesis caused by several types of pathogens. The exhibitions of animal disease severity as well as clinical manifestation are also justified for microbial pathogen identification. Finally, treatment regimes are evaluated to counteract diseases, with an emphasis on etiological factors, disease diagnosis and control measures. Users will find this to be an idea reference on recent advancements in diseases that affect cats and dogs that also highlights the management of diseases in a well-structured fashion.

Este libro sobre el síndrome de ascitis (SA) se enfoca al sistema cardiovascular. Versa en los procesos metabólicos que llevan al síndrome de hipertensión pulmonar e insuficiencia cardíaca. La remodelación del ventrículo derecho en los pollos es la parte anatómica visible y principal en la sobre carga de presión cardíaca, que lleva a la cardiomiopatía dilatada o hipertrófica. Donde diversos genes se expresan y modulan otras vías de señalización génica que al parecer es necesaria en la homeostasis. El remodelado ventricular refiere a cambios celulares y anatómicos que ocurren en base a la expresión de genes en los cardiomiocitos. Y todo esto debido a que el corazón no puede satisfacer la creciente demanda metabólica de oxígeno. A nivel mundial se sabe que la mortalidad puede llegar hasta un 30%. El problema del SA fue conocido como ¿edemä hace más de 66 años. Los avances en genética podrían ser una solución del problema cardiovascular. Por ejemplo, los pollos Lohmann Dual han mejorado por su selección genética intensiva en la capacidad cardiovascular ¿Será posible solucionar el problema del síndrome de ascitis? ¿O quizá el síndrome de ascitis no sea en realidad un problema?

This book examines how the developments in veterinary science, philosophy, economics and law converged during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to entrench farm animals along a commodification pathway. It covers two neglected areas of study; the importance of international veterinary conferences to domestic regimes and the influence of early global treaties that dealt with animal health on domestic quarantine measures. The author concludes by arguing that society needs to reconsider its understanding and the place of the welfare paradigm in animal production systems. As it presently stands, this paradigm can be used to justify almost any self-serving reason to abrogate ethical principles.The topic of this book will appeal to a wide readership; not only scholars, students and educators but also people involved in animal production, interested parties and experts in the animal welfare and animal rights sector, as well as policy-makers and regulators, who will find this work informative and thought-provoking.

The rise in drug resistance has become the most serious public health hazard and contributes to human infection, which can lead to new deadly foodborne pathogens. Almost 70% of Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli and K. pneumoniae are resistant to fluoroquinolones, third-generation cephalosporins, and carbapenemases. Herbal medications have recently demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against the majority of enteropathogens strains.

Milk, a highly nutritious food is an important source of high quality proteins and most of the essential vitamins and minerals required by the human body. Due to the lack of cold chain system and convenience associated with the use of milk in the traditional sweet products, good amount of the milk produced in the country are utilised for the same. Recently, there has been an increasing concern for health among the consumers leading to the increase demand for healthy foods. The snack foods available in the market are mainly prepared from starch rich foods and cereals grains especially potato and corn and have low nutritional density and high calorie and/or fat. The book provides the right formulation and processing conditions to develop low fat milk rings with high nutritional value, how it can be stored for longer period of time without refrigeration and how to estimate the production cost of the developed product.

The intensification of livestock systems is normally accompanied by the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers, but these can be substituted by the nitrogen biologically fixed by leguminous plants associated with existing grasses in the pasture, which can lead to an increase in biomass production. Traditionally, animal production systems in the Mexican tropics are based on the use of native forage species of low productivity. However, when the intention is to intensify animal production, introduced forage species are used, both grasses and legumes; but in the case of the latter, their permanence in the field is short, that is why the use of Arachis pintoi; associated with grasses; has been noted for its persistence under grazing, but its survival mechanisms are not fully understood to date, so this study aims to provide a minimum part of the basic knowledge of these mechanisms, in order to improve the management of these species under the conditions of the Mexican humid tropics.This would allow the sustainability of dual-purpose cattle raising.
