Optimising pig herd health and production
Summarises the wealth of research on optimising pig herd health for increased protection against major diseases, including ASF and PRRS Reviews recent advances in understanding gut function and immunity in pigs, including the development of nutritional strategies to boost immune function and resistance to disease Explores key challenges facing pig production, including breeding disease resistant pigs with a narrowing genetic base and the development of fungicide resistance
Understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables
Provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of research on analysing, understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables, focussing primarily on phytochemicals/phytochemical compounds Reviews the current research on mechanisms of action and the potential role of key phytochemical compounds, such as antioxidants and flavonoids, in preventing the onset of chronic diseases Explores current advances in understanding and improving the nutraceutical properties of key horticultural crops, including apples, cranberries, broccoli and other brassicas
Handbook of laboratory diagnosis in Swine
This useful handbook describes in detail the entire process of diagnosis, collection and sending of samples to the laboratory, the interpretation of findings, and the description of the basic laboratory techniques. It goes deeper into the knowledge of the different swine pathologies and clearly exposes the different pathologies using flow charts that will guide veterinary surgeons through the diagnostic process. At the end of each chapter there is a clinical case that completes the information offered.
Pig Health
Maintaining the health of pigs is vital in pig farming and production. This new book written by experts from around the world focuses on the health of pigs, first with coverage of the disorders of pigs organised by clinical sign and body system. The book explores environmental medicine and then health maintenance. Treatment options are discussed, emphasizing a reduction in antimicrobial use and an increased awareness of a holistic approach to treatment. The book includes over 1,500 high-quality illustrations to enhance the clinical description, as well as a wealth of high-quality videos to test the reader in making differential diagnoses with treatment options. Quizzes at the end of each sec...
Swine Respiratory Disease
This book aims to provide an updated overview on the most common pathogens responsible for porcine respiratory disease complex. The authors, all renowned and award-winning experts with a wide experience in respiratory diseases in pigs, have focused their efforts on gathering the latest information and data available on the topics covered while making the book as readable as possible.
Developing smart agri-food supply chains
Highlights current issues that challenge the safety of agri-food supply chains (e.g. food adulteration, malicious contamination) Assesses the recent developments implemented to improve safety and quality at all levels of the agri-food supply chain, including the use of smart agri-food systems Emphasis on the need for improved tracking and traceability systems of food products to prevent and manage potential threats to safety
Understanding and improving crop photosynthesis
Provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research which addresses how to sustainably achieve higher yields through improving the rate of C3 photosynthesis in crops Assesses current practices implemented to optimise photosynthesis in crops, including the modification of crop elements such as leaf/canopy architecture Explores our understanding of the biophysics, biochemistry and genetics of C3 photosynthesis in crops and how this can be used to improve photosynthesis in C4 and C3 crops
Advances in integrated weed management
Summarises the current advances in IWM, such as the use of technology to allow for more informed decision making (e.g. decision support systems (DSS) and sensor technology) Discusses the challenges continually faced by the sector, including herbicide resistance, invasive species, climate change and how best to deploy the range of non-chemical control methods available Provides examples of the practical application of IWM and its optimisation in the field on different crops (cereals, vegetables, pasture, grasslands)
Understanding and preventing soil erosion
Reviews current understanding of the mechanisms of soil erosion, focussing on water-based and wind-based erosion processes Considers the effectiveness of mitigation measures to reduce soil erosion, including buffer strips, zero/no-tillage and cover crops Addresses recent advances in techniques used to measure, predict, track and model soil erosion, including digital soil mapping and proximal instrumental techniques
Climate-smart production of coffee
Unique focus on achieving more resilient, ‘climate-smart’ coffee cultivation Distinctive agroecological approach based on improving cultivation through optimising ecosystem services Comprehensive coverage of the value chain in coffee cultivation, from breeding to pest management and post-harvest practices
