Las enfermedades víricas suponen grandes perdidas para la industria avícola, ya que pueden reducir el rendimiento, la productividad y los beneficios de las explotaciones sin producir manifestaciones clinicas. Los virus pueden causar daño tisular y abrir las puertas a otros agentes infecciosos (bacterias, micoplasmas, etc.). Por lo tanto, se necesitan medidas de bioseguridad y programas de vacunacion efectivos para mantener un estado inmunitario adecuado en las explotaciones. Este libro practico y riguroso se centra en las principales infecciones en la industria avicola e incluye la informacion mas actualizada, asi como numerosos recursos graficos (imagenes de gran calidad, graficas, diagramas) para facilitar la comprension de los contenidos. Su autor tiene una amplia experiencia en el estudio de estas infecciones y su control en el campo. Ademas, el formato de este libro facilita al lector su consulta.

The spectacular increase that pig production has experienced in recent years has generated a significant demand for information on the management and operation of pig farms. This book, created to fill this gap, reflects the work and experience of the authors, who have met the objective of creating a book with very practical contents and information rigorously based on scientific publications and on their own experience. This book aims to update knowledge and showcase the latest developments relating to the management of porcine farrowing units (physiological aspects of farrowing, facilities, organisation of farrowing sows, etc.).

Vaccination is one of the cornerstones of poultry production. In fact,it is one of the aspects that most influence production parameters in the poultry industry. In broilers, the optimum time of vaccination should aim at obtaining the maximum meat yield. In layers and breeders, both time and the route of administration have an influence in the quality of egg shells and the number of eggs per laying, among others.

Este libro aporta pautas únicas a seguir, y será de gran utilidad para los veterinarios, profesores y asesores que enseñan los metodos de bioseguridad así como para los estudiantes que contemplarán la industria del mañana. Aunque este libro esta escrito para la industria porcina, sus principios son igualmente aplicables en avicultura y acuicultura asi como en la produccion bovina y ovina. Sus principios deberian aplicarse en todos los aspectos de la produccion animal de poblaciones desde zoologicos hasta colmenas y perreras. El formato es intencionado para facilitar al ganadero y al asesor una sencilla fuente de consulta con soluciones rapidas; es mas un Ocomo" que un libro de texto. Muchas de sus paginas han sido utilizadas por los ganaderos como carteles o fichas informativas para el personal.

Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterised by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens. Respiratory distress, decrease in egg production, and loss of internal egg quality and egg shell quality have been reported in layers. Some strains of the virus produce severe kidney damage and may be associated with high mortality. Moreover, this pathology is considered to have worldwide distribution, so it is not contro-lled totally. Knowing its most hazardous features is required to minimise the great impact which has in poultry farming. According to the current situation, it is essential to review and update this severe problem. The authors have developed a complete review in a didactic and graphic way, including images, tables, graphs, etc., accompanied by a short text, to make the handbook more understandable and affordable. This precise information will help the veterinarians to know everything about this topic and tackle it properly.

Infectious bursal disease (also known as Gumboro disease) is a highly contagious viral disease caused by a small, hardy Avibirnavirus belonging to the family Birnaviridae which causes significant economic losses due to mortality, reduced performance and immuno-supression that lead to increased susceptibility to other diseases. The virus is resistant to a wide range of temperature and pH, although can be removed by most disinfectants. It is rapidly spread by direct contact between birds and can survi-ve for extended periods of time on inanimate objects, contaminated feed, etc. Currently, the disease has a worldwide prevalence and therefore it is not completely controlled. It is essential to know its main features to minimise the great economic impact which repre-sents for poultry farming. Thus, as veterinary surgeons have to face with this condition in their daily work, this hand-book performs a thorough review where the authors, highly qualified and experienced in dealing with this disease, supply visual resources (images, tables, flowcharts, etc.) accompanied by short pieces of text to describe the topic in an understandable and simple way. Therefore, the information included in this handbook helps the veterinarians to get overview of the topic so as to tackle it successfull

20% of visits to the veterinary may be due to otitis and although, in general, they do not represent a serious condition for the animal, they are very unpleasant and insidious processes if they are not treated suitably and guidelines for management and control are not established. This work presents a selection of clinical cases, in their majority of otitis, which can be diagnosed in dogs and cats, and completes the information with anatomic, etiopathogenic, clinical and analytical aspects. Finally, it gives advice about the external and systemic treatments that may be applied in each case.

This notebook includes drawings of the anatomical structures, most frequent ailments and some of the most commonly used surgical techniques in dogs and cats. Its purpose is to facilitate communication between vets and their clients, since it will enable them to explain graphically what is happening to the pet, where, and the procedure for the possible resolution of the problem.

MD is a lymphomatous and neuropathic disease of domestic birds caused by an alphaher-pesvirus. Fowls get infected by inhalation of infected dust from the poultry houses and the virus is shed from the feather follicle of infected birds. Chickens are the most important natural hosts for MD, which usually takes place at 12-30 weeks of age. Besides, MD is one of the most ubiquitous avian infections. It has been reported in chicken flocks worldwide. Every flock, except those maintained under strict pathogen-free conditions, is presumed to be infected. MD may cause important economic losses through a subclinical decrease in growth rate and egg production. Clinical signs observed include paralysis of the legs and wings and enlargement of peri-pheral nerves. Moreover, chickens may become persistently infected without developing clinical disease. According to the current situation, it is necessary to review and update this severe and widespread problem. To make it easier, the author, a prestigious specialist in this field, has developed a thorough assessment of this topic in a didactic and visual way. Many resour-ces (images, tables, graphs, etc.) have been included to facilitate the comprehension of this disease by the reader. This precise and straightforward information will help
