A practical quick reference guide, this book covers the human-animal bond, canine communication, the genetic basis of behaviour, behaviour in young and older dogs, training options and treatment, early life socialisation, handling, dealing with nervous or aggressive dogs, phobias, owner relations and referral advice for vet nurses.

A comprehensive, practical text which covers a diverse range of hydroponic and protected cropping techniques, systems, greenhouse types and environments. It also covers related subjects such as the use of indoor plant factories, vertical systems, organic hydroponics, aquaponics and other systems.

Sweet cherries are a speciality crop, subject to significant production risk for growers, yet with high potential returns due to strong consumer demand. This book covers the history, genetic improvements, production, physiology of growth and cropping, orchard establishment and management, and harvesting for sustainable cherry production.

This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspect of plant diseases, including pathogens, plant-pathogen interactions, their management, and future perspectives.

This text provides a thorough grounding in the basic sciences underpinning current farmed animal breeding practice. It relates science to practical application in all the major farmed animal species: cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs and fish.

This book guides readers through the major aspects of veterinary cytology from sample collection, preparation, and staining, to the criteria used to examine the slide and draft a quality cytological report. It provides comprehensive coverage of the cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions encountered in dogs and cats, with a new and schematic approach.

This new and updated edition covers major topics of interest to blueberry breeders and researchers: botany, physiology, nutrition, growth regulation, photosynthesis, environment, weeds, pests, diseases and postharvest management. The focus is on the highbush blueberry, though information on other blueberries and related species is also provided.

Farm Animal Behaviour provides essential information on normal and stereotypic behaviours in a wide variety of farm animals to help in the assessment and diagnosis of their welfare, and is for students in veterinary and animal sciences.

The third edition of this popular graduate-level text introduces the reader to the investigation of vegetation systems with an emphasis on data analysis. It covers pattern recognition, pattern testing, static and dynamic modelling and model testing including spatial and temporal aspects of ecosystems.

This edition brings together many examples of temperate agroforestry and makes valuable reading for all those working in this area as researchers, practitioners and policy makers. It includes additional chapters on India and Chile, and as a result of ongoing advances in the field, separate chapters on the US, Canada, the UK and continental Europe.

Covers all aspects of rabbit behaviour, welfare, health and husbandry, with updated and expanded content relevant to veterinarians. Case studies from around the world give this valuable resource an international perspective.

"Stress can have a deleterious effect on people's health, but a growing body of evidence suggests animals can have a positive effect on people's stress levels. This book showcases a rich collection of papers from Human-Animal Interactions, highlighting research pertaining to pets, and to animal assisted therapy in school and professional settings"--

Demand-led breeding has the potential to combine the best of institutional and commercial approaches to produce plant varieties that are really needed. This book shows how the approach works in practice with case studies and analysis.

The zebrafish is fast becoming the vertebrate model of choice in biomedical research. This book is written by facility managers and researchers, with daily hands-on experience of husbandry and experimental implementation of this species.

This book is a study and revision guide for students following programmes of study in which mammalogy is an important component. It contains 600 multiple-choice questions (and annotated answers) set at three levels - foundation, intermediate and advanced.

This book forms a complete resource covering ornamental fish health and welfare. It covers all the key elements of care, including water quality testing and maintenance, filtration systems, nutrition, husbandry, handling and transportation, disease diagnosis, treatments and medications, and disease prevention.

"Diving into the evolution of Customer Experience this text offers an insightful exploration of the paradigm shift from customer service to Customer Experience (CX) within the Caribbean context. Unveiling the dynamics of CX's influence on satisfaction, loyalty, and business profitability, this book delves into strategic planning, employee development, data-driven decisions, and emerging technological trends, and it fills a crucial gap in the literature with: - An array of Caribbean case studies; - Enhanced theoretical concepts and a deep appreciation of customer experience management in the Caribbean; - References of best practices to address critical issues affecting the delivery of a quality customer experience. Scholars and practitioners within customer service, services marketing, customer experience management and customer relationship marketing in the retail hospitality and tourism, financial, health care and education sectors will find this a valuable resource on CX's transformative power in this region and beyond"--

An established favourite with veterinary and agricultural students and a valuable addition to the library of any veterinarian or sheep farmer, this handbook covers the basics of sheep medicine and production. Geared at being an on-farm reference, it concisely conveys all of the fundamental information for the treatment of sheep worldwide.

Potential pulses include adzuki bean, rice bean, faba bean, cow pea, etc. and have potential to become climate-smart crops for a sustainable future. These underutilized crops offer numerous benefits, including mitigating the effects of climate change and improving nutritional security.

The superfamily Chalcidoidea are part of the order Hymenoptera and comprise some 22,500 known species, most of which are parasitoids, attacking the egg or larval stage of their host. This book is an historic milestone, and presents a reclassification of this important group for generations to come.

"Lack of clean water, inadequate sanitation, and insufficient infection prevention and control promotes the spread of parasites. The discovery of anti-parasitic drugs was considered a milestone in the veterinary and medical sciences, but their use has subsequently become limited due to the emergence of resistance. While plenty of attention has been given in human and animal health communities to the global threat of antimicrobial drug resistance, specific antiparasitic advice is less available. This book provides an in-depth view of the issue for parasitologists, pharmacologists and veterinary scientists. Specifically discussing anti-parasitic drug resistance mechanisms and factors responsible for the problem, it covers: The physiological basis of parasitism; Resistance across protozoa, helminths, insects, mites and ticks; Molecular and phenotypic diagnostic methods; Practical strategies for mitigating resistance development. While it is clear that the veterinary field urgently requires the development of new anti-parasitic drugs, of equal or even increased importance is the evaluation of alternative therapies and formulation of stringent policies to ensure appropriate drug use in veterinary practice. Highlighting the importance and development of resistance across different parasite groups, this book covers factors responsible for resistance development and advises strategies for effective stewardship and resistance mitigation"--
