Techniques And Procedures In Animal Science

by Ganesh Yadav

Overview

Agricultural animal health care involves proper management and husbandry as well as veterinary care. Proper management is essential for the well-being of animals, the validity and effectiveness of research and teaching activities, and the health and safety of animal care personnel. Sound animal husbandry programs provide systems of care that permit the animals to grow, mature, reproduce, express some species-specific behaviour, and be healthy. Specific operating procedures depend on factors that are unique to individual institutions. Well-trained and motivated personnel can often achieve high-quality animal care with less than ideal physical plants and equipment. Procedures involving animals should be designed and performed with due consideration of their relevance to human or animal health, the advancement of knowledge, or the good of society. This book can be used for undergraduate and postgraduate animal science courses and as a resource book for scientists who work with animals in their research, for university veterinarians, for regulators, and for other working in the related fields.
