"The second edition of Equine Clinical Nutrition is a fully updated and expanded revision of the classic student text on nutritional management of horses, covering updated nutrient recommendations, rations, feeding management, clinical nutrition and many other important topics in the field. To aid in reader comprehension, this new edition takes a new instructional approach to nutritional management using an iterative sequence of defined procedures. Divided into distinct sections for easy accessibility, this book is a comprehensive resource for feeding practices and management of healthy and sick horses alike. A thorough understanding of life stages, anatomy, physiology, and behavior underpins the practice of clinical nutrition. Equine Clinical Nutrition is an essential text for students of veterinary medicine, animal science, pre-veterinary programs, and a desk reference for equine practitioners wanting practical clinical feeding recommendations. With comprehensive coverage of the topic, it is an essential text for everything related to nutrition in horses"--

The first chapter considers optimising reproductive management as a means of maximising dairy herd health and production. The chapter outlines the steps required to identify reproductive problems and limitations, as well as the emergence of monitoring technologies to detect changes to animal behaviour and patterns which can indicate the presence of disease.The second chapter summarises recent research addressing behavioural needs of pre-weaned calves and post-weaned heifers, encompassing aspects of social interactions and feeding, rest and comfort, as well as opportunities for other behavioural expression. The chapter also discusses the consequences of restricting these behaviours, such as the development of abnormal oral behaviours.The final chapter highlights the crucial role youngstock/calf management can play in optimising dairy herd health and welfare in the short-term and long-term. The chapter considers the impacts of calfhood nutritional management and calfhood diseases on subsequent dairy herd health, as well as the role of veterinarians in communicating best practice in youngstock management.

This book explores the evidence currently available to explain why feeding animals is still essential for global food security.There is considerable concern and controversy nowadays over the ethics and practices of food production. These concerns are particularly directed towards food of animal origin, meat, milk and eggs. Arguments are made that feeding animals with human food materials such as wheat or maize is an ethical misuse of global food resources. Unfortunately, the reality and practices of feeding animals is poorly understood. The return on investment of feeding animals with a small proportion of human edible ingredients is very substantial. Milk, meat and eggs have a much higher nutritional value than the original food materials. Moreover, the significant improvements in productivity of animals raised for food over the last 50 years contributes to food security and low cost food in developed countries. Oilseeds, human food and biofuel industries generate enormous quantities of materials that are inedible for humans. Feeding these resources to animals contributes to the development of the Circular Economy. It removes this enormous quantity of materials from the environment in an economically sustainable way.Climate change and global warming are major concerns, but it is not readily appreciated that grasslands contribute to carbon sequestration. Well managed grasslands trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon component in the soil. Feeding animals has adverse environmental effects from greenhouse gases and manure. However, there are possibilities to reduce methane emission by ruminants and to improve manure processing which will mitigate the environmental damage from feeding animals. Global food security can only be achieved by obtaining the maximum value from all the food resources on the planet. As a large proportion of global food resources are inedible for humans, feeding animals is essential for global food security.This book has been targeted for students and professionals in agriculture and in food production. It would however also be useful for anyone who is interested in the processes of food production and the environmental consequences.
