Recent Advances in Animal Health and Disease

Animal health and disease are crucial aspects of veterinary science and animal husbandry. Maintaining optimal health in animals ensures their well-being and productivity. Diseases can arise from infectious agents like viruses, bacteria, parasites, or non-infectious causes such as nutritional deficiencies or genetic factors. Prevention involves vaccination, biosecurity measures, and good management practices. Early detection of diseases through regular health monitoring and veterinary care is vital to prevent outbreaks and reduce economic losses in livestock farming. Timely treatment with appropriate medications or therapies can mitigate the impact of diseases on animal populations. Furthermore, animal health is closely linked to human health and the environment through concepts like zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Thus, a comprehensive understanding and management of animal health and disease are essential for sustainable agriculture, food safety, and public health. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of animal health and related fields.
