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.).

Newcastle disease is a contagious bird disease that affects many domestic and wild avian species in which has a great economic and ecologic impact. Besides, it is transmissible to humans, so that it is convenient to extreme caution and to take appropriate measures to avoid its spreading. This disease supposes a worldwide severe problem in lots of countries in which it has not been completely controlled, thus it is essential to know the most important features which make it very dangerous in poultry farming. Moreover, it has been used as an anticancer agent and a potential biological weapon, so that researches with this virus have been numerous in the last decades. Generally speaking, in veterinary medicine, it is necessary to perform an updated and gra-phic review about it. To make it easier, the author, a prestigious specialist in this field, has developed a thorough study in a didactic and visual way. The inclusion of images, tables, graphs and even flowcharts focuses the reader?s attention on this topic. These graphic resources are accompanied by a short text to make the handbook understandable. Thanks to this information, the veterinarians will get an overview of the disease and this tool will help them to know and tackle the disease successfully day after day.

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 successfully day after day.

This is a pioneering book in veterinary medicine. The reader will be ableto visualise what really is happening in a diseased heart. Through threedimensional representation and augmented reality, every disorder can be seen, almost touching the 3D model above the book. In addition, the changes in blood flow produced by the pathologies can be visualised, bringing the reader even closer to the pathophysiological reality. The text addresses the major points of pathophysiology and diagnostic keys for the most common diseases, and the illustrations and pictures are a bridge between the 3D models and the text. Thus, the book succeeds in joining diagnosis, and particularly a test such as echocardiography, with the understanding of the pathophysiology.

Obra científico-técnica centrada fundamentalmente en la gestión de las explotaciones de ganado porcino que trabajan con genéticas hiperprolíficas, las cuales copan casi en su totalidad el mercado en esta especie en términos tanto productivos como reproductivos, y son objeto de gran parte de las inversiones e investigaciones realizadas en el sector en cuanto a búsqueda de optimización de la productividad y rentabilidad de las explotaciones. Se trata de una obra pionera e innovadora dentro de la producción porcina con un enfoque claramente práctico para el veterinario de campo. El autor, especialista de reputada experiencia con este tipo de genéticas, proporciona la información clave para facilitar el manejo de estas líneas por parte de los profesionales veterinarios.
