Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the role of hormones in improving and monitoring the production, performance, reproduction, behaviour and health of livestock animals, focusing on cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, poultry and fish. Beginning with the principles of endocrinology and the methods to study endocrine systems, it then covers the different endocrine systems that affect different aspects of animal production and describes how these systems can be manipulated or monitored to advantage. The mechanism of action is covered, and common mechanisms and themes highlighted in order to understand potential methods for altering these systems, and stimulate ideas for the development of new methods. An invaluable text for students of animal science and veterinary medicine, this book also provides a useful resource for those in academia and industry interested in applications of endocrinology in animal production systems.

Download or read book Laboratory Animal Endocrinology written by David D. Woodman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997-10-07 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex and fascinating subject of endocrinology can often seem rather daunting for non-specialists. For practising endocrinologists too, maintaining a broad overview of the subject can be a major task. Laboratory Animal Endocrinology has been written with both these audiences in mind. Focusing on the species regularly used in experimental studies (including rodents, dogs and monkeys), each chapter presents a wealth of information on hormone structure, synthesis, secretion, receptors, second messengers and their actions, and considers the various physiological and pharmacological processes which may be involved in hormonal regulation. Interspecies' differences in hormonal structure, metabolism and interactions with drugs and other chemicals are particularly important to toxicologists and in drug safety evaluation. Laboratory Animal Endocrinology also explores these areas of research and provides much-needed support for the interpolation of endocrine data from one test species to another and to humans. The book is not intended exclusively for toxicologists however, but will prove indispensable for all those working with laboratory animals.
Download or read book Biotechnologies Applied to Animal Reproduction written by Juan Carlos Gardón and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume focuses on recent trends and new technologies used in the management of reproduction in major farm animals, focusing on both males and females of bovine, equine, and porcine species. With chapters written by scientists who specialize in their respective topics, the volume presents a selection of different technologies that have been developed to assure reproductive success by improving reproductive efficiency, generating germplasm banks, and maintaining genetic diversity in cattle, horses, and pigs. In the last decade, reproductive technologies in veterinary medicine have progressed considerably, providing high profitability to livestock farms. This book provides basic and applied information on the most used reproductive technologies in bovine, equine, and porcine species for academics, scientists, and veterinarians. The volume discusses reproductive and postpartum management, reproductive ultrasound, sperm management, egg retrieval, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, nutrition, genetics, and certain clinical aspects, such as endocrinology and robustness of reproductive systems.

Download or read book Stress Physiology in Animals written by Paul H.M. Balm and published by Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-08-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen a disproportionate increase in the number of studies published on "stress". This results partly from an increase in the number of biological disciplines studying stress, but also from the recognition that the concept of stress can be applied to all levels of organization - from ecosystems to the molecular level - and that the relevant physiological mechanisms evolved at least 400 million years ago. Stress Physiology in Animals provides an overview of the impact of stress on animal physiology, organized by functional activity. Comparative aspects of the subject are emphasized throughout. The authors concentrate on the recent literature, and the volume covers a range of organization, from molecule to community. An extensive list of references is provided. This book is ideal for academic and industrial researchers in animal physiology, animal endocrinology, and animal behavior.
