Livestock and Companion Animals
By Ralph E. Williams
Is a comprehensive guide to the recognition, biology, importance,
and control of insects and related arthropods that may be encountered in
animal husbandry practices and with companion animals. Unlike similar
books, this single-authored textbook is focused exclusively on the
veterinary aspects of entomology. In 15 highly readable chapters, it
addresses the details of livestock/companion animal pest management
within the current trends in pest management techniques and available
technology such as pest surveillance and detection.
Richly
illustrated with more than 200 figures and a four-page color insert,
the book discusses pertinent information on host–pest relationships,
pest control methodology, identification, and biology of important pest
groups, emphasizing those arthropods specifically associated with
livestock and poultry production systems and those affecting companion
animals.
Written by a leading entomological expert, this book includes coverage of:
- Cattle
- Swine
- Sheep and goats
- Poultry
- Domestic pets
- Horses
Veterinary Entomology: Livestock and Companion Animals
is an excellent resource for all those involved with the handling and
research of livestock and companion animals, as well as students in
entomology, agriculture, and veterinary science.
