DOWNLOAD EBOOKAir Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe confirmed case of "mad cow" disease (BSE) in June 2005 illustrates the economic impact of disease outbreaks, as additional countries closed their markets to U.S. beef and beef products. Emerging diseases also threaten public health-11 out of 12 of the major global disease outbreaks over the last decade were from zoonotic agents (that spread from animals to humans). Animal Health at the Crossroads: Preventing, Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases finds that, in general, the U.S. animal health framework has been slow to take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies being used now to protect public health; better diagnostic tests for identifying all animal diseases should be made a priority. The report also recommends that the nation establish a high-level, authoritative, and accountable coordinating mechanism to engage and enhance partnerships among local, state, and federal agencies, and the private sector.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnimal health and economics are closely linked. Any decision taken to prevent, control and eliminate an animal disease is based not only on the technical knowledge available about a particular disease but also on the effectiveness and socio-economic aspects associated with interventions and mitigation measures implemented by governments, producers and all the actors along the livestock value chains. Economic rationale drives decisions in assessing particular investments which are likely to result in a benefit for society or for a specific stakeholder, including livestock farmers and communities. These guidelines prepared by FAO will contribute to a better understanding of the importance of economic analysis when assessing the impact of a particular animal disease in production, trade, market access, food security and livelihoods of rural communities, or when designing or implementing an animal health strategy at national, regional or global level. This framework will provide a good communication tool between animal health technicians, veterinarians and economists in developing countries and will encourage a well informed collaboration between veterinarians, animal health experts, economists and social scientists for livestock and socio-economic development. Economic analysis should be an essential part of animal disease policies and disease management strategies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK4* Doody's Review! Ideal for veterinary students, residents and clinicians, the fourth edition of this bestselling textbook has been fully updated in line with developments in research and teaching. The logical chapter progression reflects the stages in a clinical case work-up and how epidemiological concepts and methods contribute. This new edition provides guidelines for improving patient and population health outcomes, and detecting emerging diseases through systematic evaluation of patient encounters and electronic medical records incorporates new methodologies and concepts drawn from the recent veterinary practice literature updates chapter content including expanded coverage of risk, statistical and economic analyses, and surveillance for emerging diseases more than 60 examples of clinical research drawn from the international veterinary practice literature presented as structured abstracts; follow-up questions invite the reader to participate in the analysis of results online links to full text versions of more than half of structured abstracts and more than 40% of the book’s 174 literature citations updates the listing and review of public and private online resources, including guidelines for online literature searching and critical evaluation of clinical reports. Today’s veterinary curricula places greater emphasis on experiential/problem-based learning versus discipline-oriented instruction. This fourth edition is ideally suited to introduce epidemiologic concepts and methodologies to veterinary students in the context of the patient encounter, and should be of use at any point in the veterinary curriculum.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book is fabricated exclusively for M.Sc. (Agri.) and Ph.D. degree programmes in Plant Pathology, for all the universities of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Sericulture and the related streams of Botany. ‘Chemicals in Plant Disease Management’ is a compulsory subject in several degree programmes. The present book solely caters to the students of Plant Pathology, as it covers a wide range of topics related to chemicals used to control plant diseases, viz., Agrochemicals used in plant disease management: Current scenario; History and development of agrochemicals; Formulations, application and phytotoxicity of agrochemicals; Classification and modes of action of agrochemicals; Registration and regulation of agrochemicals; Safe handling and use of agrochemicals; Compatibility and persistence of agrochemicals; Pollution and hazards by agrochemicals; and New generation fungicides. Special Features: There has been a gap of 30 years since the publication of a book on the subject addressed here, therefore, this book makes a novel appearance on Agrochemicals in recent times. Presently, there is no book available in the market covering the whole syllabus prescribed by the ICAR on Agrochemicals. To meet this requirement the book is designed to cover the entire syllabus prescribed by the ICAR for the courses in P.G. programmes on Plant Pathology. Recent developments in chemicals used in Plant Disease Management have been added, updated, and presented in a detailed manner. Serviceable Tables, Illustration, Figures, and Data are provided for an effective understanding, of both the students and the faculty. Appendices on ‘Read the Label’ and ‘Preparation of spray volume’ are provided. Detailed Glossary of key words used, has been given for important and frequently occurring topics. Exhaustive ‘Bibliography’ for further reading is also provisioned. Since the book is first of its kind, it is highly recommended for the students, faculty, policy makers, private and government pesticide industries, NGO’s, State Government Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Sericulture. Apart from the students appearing for U.G. /P.G. Entrance Examinations in various Universities, several competitive examinations such as ARS, NET, SRF, JRF, IAS, KAS, progressive farmers and planters, and Seed companies, are also expected to be benefited by the book.

However there is a need for greater understanding of private incentives,market impacts, and public policy perspectives on regional, national and international levels, if livestockinsurance products and complementary risk management programmes are to be developed.This book provides a balanced and broad-ranging overview of the economics of livestock diseaseinsurance. It covers both general issues and specific case studies drawn from the USA, Canada, Europeand Australia or focussing on specific issues. The book is unique in addressing this subject and willinterest readers in agricultural business and economics, veterinary science and the livestock sector.
