The present study was done from January 2017 to December, 2021 to investigate the commonly occurring parasitological conditions in meat animals reported during routine necropsy examination. The animals targeted in this study included buffaloes, sheep and goats, poultry birds and rabbits. The cases...

The aim of the present study was to unravel the pivotal role of pancreatic pathology in disease diagnosis during avian necropsy. The extent of pancreatic pathology in different poultry diseases of economic importance at different age groups and breeds particularly in Chabro and Vanaraja breeds of...

Trypanosoma evansi, a hemoflagellate protozoan, leads to wasting disease, surra in livestock animals causing huge economic losses. Currently, the preferred assay for surra diagnosis is whole cell lysate (WCL) based ELISA, which requires the use of rodents for WCL preparation. To avoid use of...

Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by intraerythrocytic Babesia parasites. It is a well-known illness in companion animals and livestock, resulting in substantial economic losses in the cattle industry. Babesiosis is also recognized as an emerging zoonosis of humans in many countries...

This study examines gastrointestinal parasites in the endangered lion-tailed macaque, which is sympatric with the bonnet macaque that has relocated from nearby towns or agriculture landscapes dominated by humans and livestock. One hundred and ninety-four fresh fecal samples from lion-tailed...

Feed additives are non-nutritive substances, preparations and micro-organisms that are added to feed to animal feeds to improve growth performance, feed intake and the efficiency of feed utilization for healthy, economic and eco-friendly livestock production. This book on Animal Feed Additives...

The prevalence of resistance to broad-spectrum anthelmintics among veterinary important helminths has dramatically increased in last three decades in livestock production in many countries.
