Tails
Dr. Slack draws from his 35 years of veterinary practice on two continents, Australia and America, to explore this wonderful mystery of human-animal bonding. He writes how his clients' pets touched their lives - the warmth of a cat curled in the lap of an elderly lady, the laughter of a latchkey child at play with his dog, a pet helping a boy survive the chaos of an alcoholic parent - the many magical ways the bond between us brings joy into our human world.He reflects on how his own pets, Shilo and Bailee, taught him the art of living in the moment and about how our bonds become a great source of comfort at all stages of life, for both species. Through our pets, we humans can learn the secret of how to be our best selves - for all those we love - human and animal.
Beyond the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
The North American Wildlife Conservation Model (NAM) is the driver of a strong anthropocentric stance, which has legalized an ongoing, annual exploitation of hundreds of millions of wild animals, who are killed in the United States through trapping, hunting and other lethal practices. Increasingly, the American public opposes the killing of wild animals for recreation, trophies and profit but has little--if any--knowledge of the Model. The purpose of this book is to empower the public with knowledge about the NAM's insufficiencies and to help expedite the shift from lethal to compassionate conservation, an endeavour urgently needed particularly under the threats of climate change, human population growth and accelerating plant and animal species extinctions.With a focus on trapping, this book exposes the NAM's belief in human supremacy and its consequences for wild animals and their ecosystems, the same value that is driving the ongoing global destruction of nature and accelerating species extinction. Motivated by a deep concern for wild animals who suffer and whose lives are extinguished each year by 'sportsmen and women', this book exposes the violent treatment of wild animals inherent in governmental-promoted hunting and trapping programs, while emphasizing the importance of empathy and compassion for other animals in conservation and in our lives.

Your Horses Health Lameness
In depth diagnosis and treatment of the most common problem affecting horses' health. Written by a veterinary expert with current hands-on experience and the latest research in care and rehabilitation This book is a thorough examination of all causes of lameness, the most common and frustrating problem faced by horse owners. Lameness is the primary cause for a horse to be out of action and unrideable. Its cause can be difficult to diagnose and the problem can drag on for weeks, months or even years if the treatment is wrong. All horses are occasionally lame from the regularly ridden and competed horse to the pony left in the field and only ridden at weekends. Its causes are diverse and many ranging from a simple briused sole to difficult to treat tendon injuries and potentially fatal laminitis. All horse owners need to be able to assess lameness, even a small wound can result in the death of a horse if it leads to an infected joint. On the other hand, horse owners can hardly afford to call out the vet everytime their horse stumbles and tweaks a muscle when out in the field.This book gives readers the skills they need to understand the causes of lamness and make well informed decisions on how to address the problem
Constructing Canine Consent
The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviours, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviours and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behaviour in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs. It will be important reading for veterinary professionals, dog trainers and behaviourists, those involved in work with therapy dogs, and anybody working with or caring for dogs.

Animal Welfare - New Insights
Animal welfare has become a topic of serious discussion worldwide. Humane breeding has become an issue that has been given international attention in recent years. However, many people are still very unfamiliar with this concept. The foundation of humane feeding is based on AW. The main appeal is to allow animals to have five freedoms. When animal feeding meets these conditions, it can be regarded as meeting the basic requirements of humane feeding. The basis for the sustainable implementation of humane breeding is actually consumers. If consumers do not support the concept of humane feeding and do not agree with the price difference that should be paid for the production of humane products, then producers have no resources to put humane concepts into the production process. Therefore, only when consumers pay attention to humane production in terms of consumer behavior, more producers are willing to raise livestock and poultry in a humane way. As long as the insistence of both consumers and producers is satisfied, animals can be treated better.
Animal Models and Experimental Research in Medicine

A cross-sectional study with a simple random sampling approach was conducted to estimate the occurrence, identifying risk factors, and assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella isolated from fishermen and fish species from Fincha Lake. Salmonella was isolated, phenotypically identified by Omni Log and the antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the disk diffusion method and interpreted following the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute recommendations. Tilapia (220), common carp (85), and catfish (79) were the most known fish species in Lake Fincha. Samples were collected from skins (65), Gills ( 96 ), Intestines ( 110 ), and Muscles (113 ) parts of these three species. Muscles 3 (2.65%) samples were found to be the most Salmonella positive, followed by gills 2 (2.08 %). No Salmonella was isolated from fishermen's hand swabs (0%).The prevalence of salmonella in fish was 1.30 % ( 95% confidence interval (CI ): 0.42-3.01 ).The overall prevalence of Salmonella in the study area was 1.21% ( 95% CI: 0.39-2.80 ) . All of the isolated Salmonella (n=5) belongs to S. Typhimurium Serovars. The antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that the isolates were resistant to Cefotaxime, Tetracycline, and Ampicillin disks. However, Chloramphenicol, Sulfamethaxazole+Trimethoprim, Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid, Gentamicin and Cefoxitin were found effective in inhibiting the growth of all of the isolates. Isolation of Salmonella from fish was associated with contamination of the harvesting areas, contamination of the Lake, collecting and processing materials and equipment. Factors independently predicted Salmonella o

Antibiotics and Probiotics in Animal Food - Impact and Regulation
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.
Animal Suffering, Human Rights, and the Virtue of Justice
In this book, Per Bauhn does three things. First, he outlines some aspects of contemporary philosophical views on animals and morality, including the criticism of speciesism and the animal rights argument. Second, he criticizes these views, arguing that we cannot escape a speciesist perspective on morality, and that there are no good reasons why we should believe that non-human animals have moral rights. Third, he argues that cruelty against non-human animals is morally wrong, but not because animal rights are being violated but because human agents who inflict cruelty on non-human animals are failing their duty to develop in themselves the virtue of justice. This latter argument is reminiscent of Immanuel Kant's idea that we have only indirect duties towards animals, but unlike that idea, Bauhn's argument does not depend on any causal hypothesis that humans who are cruel to animals are likely to be cruel also to their fellow humans. Instead, Bauhn's argument relies on the fact that being cruel to non-human animals and other innocent beings is conceptually and logically inconsistent with the virtue of justice - a virtue which agents are rationally required to develop in themselves.
Manual of sutures in veterinary surgery
From time immemorial, man has been confronted with wound treatment, and the Babylonians, Egyptians and Indians were the first to pass on their knowledge to us 2000 years ago. Today, the future of ligatures and sutures lies in space and man can be replaced by "telemanipulators". However, knowledge of ligature and suture techniques remains indispensable. It is the merit of this work to bring together in one book.

Anthelmintic Efficacy of Ethno-Veterinary Herbs
The traditional knowledge of tribals was scientifically validated where investigation was undertaken to evaluate in vivo anthelmintic efficacy of Nigella sativa (Kaloji), Swertia chirata (Chirayata)and Piper longum (Pippali) on gastrointestinal nematodes in naturally infected goats. Besides the anthelminitc efficacy of the aforesaid indigenous plants, the haematological and clinical observations were made to find out their safety levels in goats. The extractability and phytochemical composition of N. sativa, S. chirata and P. longum were also determined to find out the presence of bioactive principles in the indigenous plants.
