This textbook Production Diseases in Farm Animals: Pathophysiology, Profilaxis and Health Management deals with livestock production diseases and their prevention in the major species: ruminants, swine, and poultry. It gives an interdisciplinary view on pathophysiology, prophylaxis, and health management. Livestock breeding and husbandry is often accompanied by a conflict of interest between the animal´s biological requirements and economic producer needs. This conflict is increasingly gaining attention not only by producers, animal scientists, and veterinarians, but also by the public. Key features include: – The use of antimicrobials with emphasis on security and safety for producers/consumers; – the impact of locomotion disorders on performance and welfare of animals; – the interactions of gut microbiome, genetics, climate change, metabolic status and mineral homeostasis with reproduction, performance, animal health and welfare. A special section is devoted to behavioural signs indicating an impaired animal welfare. The present work is a valuable resource for veterinarians, students, as well as experts in animal and agricultural sciences, food safety and technology. 588 p.
