Reproduction represents a key point in the maintenance of the pig sector in terms of production and contributes to the establishment of high levels of swine health. Therefore, it is essential to provide valuable tools to veterinarians about the main challenges related to this topic in order to minimize the impact caused by the most important disorders/diseases at the reproductive level. This handbook, written by a renowned specialist in this field, has been developed through a visual and practical approach, using numerous figures that illustrate the ovarian pathophysiology of the sow, and providing suitable content to the veterinarians so as to tackle this matter successfully.
In this book on practical antibiotherapy in swine medicine, the author has tried to present, in a visual and practical way and with an updated view, the most important aspects a veterinary clinician should take into account to design appropriate antimicrobial treatments in swine herds. Thus, in this work, current pharmacological knowledge is reviewed with the help of real clinical cases solved by the author. Finally, it includes a comprehensive review of what a prudent use of these essential tools to ensure our animals’ health means.
