Comparative Aspects of Reproductive Failure

Autor: K. Benirschke

Número de Páginas: 507

To many, the contents of this conference may not seem appropriate at a time when the minds are preoccupied with a "population explosion." To the participants and guests of this conference, however, this was a week of fascinating discussions. While quantitative aspects of reproduc tion were touched upon, it was mostly a search for an understanding of the qualitative aspects of reproduction and its failure. Only when we understand these more completely will it be possible to render optimum care and have the foundations for meaningful population control. The conference was conceived in discussions at the Committee on Pathology of the National Academy of Sciences, W"ashington, in 1965. It was felt that investigators in medicine and the veterinary fields would profit greatly from a closer liaison. All too frequently, we work relatively isolated in our respective fields and, with the burgeoning information filling our journals, we have not enough time and leisure to stand back and attempt a comparative look at the subject of study. Often we are not familiar with the techniques other disciplines use, and which we could well employ to great advantage. ,,yhile this applies to many aspects...

Production Diseases in Farm Animals

Autor: Th Wensing

Número de Páginas: 414

High producing farm animals (dairy cows, beef cattle, veal calves, pigs, sheep etc.) are permanently challenged by a variety of factors: lack of proper nutrition ( deficit/surplus ), housing systems, infections and stress. The incidence, course and outcome of production diseases are changing continuously. Therefore new information on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of production diseases is needed. These problems are complicated by the discussion of animal welfare, the rapid changes in agricultural production and the economics of production. This complexity can only be analysed, pushed forward or eventually solved by an interdisciplinary approach which can stimulate new ideas for research and collaboration. At the 10th International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals 1998, about 120 scientists in the field of large animal science presented the results of their research in connection with this subject. The full papers of the key note lectures and the abstracts of the scientific presentations are published in this book. The abstracts in this book provide scientists, veterinarians and other workers in animal husbandry with the most recent findings of ongoing...

Reproductive biotechnologies and challenges in their application

Autor: Stefan Gregore Ciornei , Mihai Cenariu , Graça Lopes

Número de Páginas: 197

Animal reproductive biotechnologies encompass a diverse array of scientific techniques aimed at improving livestock breeding, enhancing animal health, and conserving endangered species. These technologies include artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET), cloning, and gene editing. By leveraging these methods, researchers and farmers can enhance desirable traits in livestock, such as disease resistance, meat quality, and milk production, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and food security. Additionally, in conservation efforts, reproductive biotechnologies play a crucial role in preserving genetic diversity and restoring populations of endangered species. However, the application of these technologies faces numerous challenges, including infertility, ethical concerns surrounding animal welfare, genetic modification, and the potential environmental impact of genetically modified organisms. Furthermore, regulatory frameworks vary across regions and species, posing obstacles to the widespread adoption of these technologies. Addressing these challenges is essential for ensuring the responsible use of animal reproductive biotechnologies while maximizing their...
