Avian Medicine: Self Assessment Colour Review

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:19:05 GMT

In recent years there has been an explosion in our knowledge of avian disease, and avian medicine has become one of the fastest developing areas in all of veterinary medicine.
In this Self-Assessment Colour Review, the editors and a group of internationally renowned avian contributors - some in clinical practice, some working in universities - offer practitioners and students an overview of avian medicine and surgery in an easily assimilable form: over 200 cases are presented as integrated questions and colour illustrations followed immediately by detailed explanations designed to educate, not just to test. Covering psittacines, pigeons, game birds, ratites, raptors and waterfowl, the cases appear in random order, just as they would in practice, and cover all the more common avian problems facing veterinarians.

The book will be useful as a revision aid in preparation for exams and as a reference in continuing professional development. It will also be a source of much enjoyment to its readers.

Key features

- Systematic coverage in problem-oriented self-assessment format
- Superb colour illustrations
- Integrated questions and detailed explanatory answers

- Affordable prices for students

The Equine Distal Limb: An Atlas of Clinical Anatomy and Comparative Imaging

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:19:04 GMT

Jean-Marie Denoix is the world’s leading equine musculoskeletal system anatomist and has become one of the foremost equine diagnostic ultrasonographers. There is therefore nobody better to compile a reference atlas of the clinical anatomy of the foot, pastern and fetlock, correlated with images obtained by radiography, diagnostic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced imaging techniques require in depth knowledge of anatomy for accurate interpretation and especially when using magnetic resonance imaging this must be a 3-dimensional concept of anatomy.

This book provides a unique contribution and will be an invaluable reference text. The image quality is extraordinarily high and the multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation. Each part opens with a characteristically superb anatomical drawing by the author. Each spread of pages deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled black and white equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required. The book is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size. The atlas will be essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.

Key features

- World-class author
- Provides a complete understanding of every anatomical structure of the distal limb with a 3-D concept
- Provides a complete set of reference diagnostic images (x-rays, ultrasound scans, MRI scans)
- Combines colour photos and images of the highest quality

Clinical Immunology of the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:19:04 GMT

The First Edition of this book (1999) was greeted by critical acclaim, became a bestseller and was translated into many languages. It proved useful for veterinarians in general practice who may have had limited exposure to the subject of immunology in training to help translate theory into clinical practice.

The book details the manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of immune-related disease in the dog and cat. It is illustrated throughout in full colour, to show and explain to the reader as clearly as possible the complicated principles of disease and immunodiagnostic tests, supported by clinical cases, gross and histopathology, cytology, haematology, immunohistochemistry and other immunological tests.

Since publication of the First Edition many advances have been made and the Second Edition incorporates these changes in focus and on techniques. There is an additional chapter on respiratory and cardiac disease, and given the continued focus of companion animal practitioners on vaccine-related issues, a new chapter is devoted entirely to the subject of vaccinology. The Second Edition includes approximately 200 new photographic images, an updated list of further reading and an extensive glossary of terms.

Key features:

- Brief explanation of basic science
- Focuses on clinical practice
- Revised and expanded second edition of a bestseller
- New chapters on respiratory and cardiac disease, and on vaccinology
- Superlative colour diagrams and colour photos

- Superb colour illustrations
- Integrated questions and detailed explanatory answers
- International authorship
- Affordable prices for students

Veterinary Equipment and Supplies in Australia: A Strategic Reference, 2007

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:37:48 GMT

How to Strategically Evaluate Australia Perhaps the most efficient way of evaluating Australia is to consider key dimensions which themselves are composites of multiple factors. Composite portfolio approaches have long been used by strategic planners. The biggest challenge in this approach is to choose the appropriate factors that are the most relevant to international planning. The two measures of greatest relevance to veterinary equipment and supplies are “latent demand” and “market accessibility”. The figure below summarizes the key dimensions and recommendations of such an approach. Using these two composites, one can prioritize all countries of the world. Countries of high latent demand and high relative accessibility (e.g. easier entry for one firm compared to other firms) are given highest priority. The figure below shows two different scenarios. Accessibility is defined as a firm’s ease of entering or supplying from or to a market (the “supply side”), and latent demand is an indicator of the potential in serving from or to the market (the “demand side”). Framework for Prioritizing Countries Demand/Market Potential Driven Firm Relative Accessibility Accessibility/Supply Averse Firm In the top figure, the firm is driven by market potential, whereas the bottom figure represents a firm that is driven by costs or by an aversion to difficult markets. This report treats the reader as coming from a “generic firm” approaching the global market - neither a market-driven nor a cost-driven company. Planners must therefore augment this report with their own company-specific factors that might change the priorities (e.g. a Canadian firm may have higher accessibility in Canada than a German firm). Latent Demand and Accessibility in Australia This report provides a detailed overview of factors driving latent demand and accessibility for veterinary equipment and supplies in Australia. Latent demand is largely driv

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:53:26 GMT

Animal Pharm’s Top 20 is recognised throughout the animal health and nutrition industry as a key source of information and analysis on the 20 largest companies in the sector. Invest in this report to keep informed of the performance of your potential competitors, collaborators or customers.

Key Findings:
- Global sales of animal health and nutrition products totalled almost US$21.7 billion in 2005. That figure was around 7% higher than the year-earlier total of US$20.3 billion.
- Sales of veterinary pharmaceuticals and biologicals for use in small animals alone are now worth almost US$6 billion, a figure equivalent to more than 27% of the entire market.
- The 13% increase in revenues reported by Pfizer Animal Health in 2005 saw the company consolidate its position at the head of the global sales league, with a gap of more than US$200 million between it and second-placed Merial.
- Merial appears set to leapfrog Pfizer in 2006, regaining the leadership position it held prior to Pfizer’s acquisition of Pharmacia Corp in 2003.
- The acquisition of Adisseo by the China National Chemical Corp (CNCC), announced late in 2005 and completed in 2006, is among the most significant M&A developments reported recently in the industry.
- Despite SPAH’s recent problems in the US market, most recent results indicate that the worst may finally be behind the company, with US sales up sharply on year-earlier figures in the first half of 2006.
- Merial’s Frontline sales fell back by 11% on year-earlier figures in the third quarter of 2005. That was followed by a 31% gain in the final quarter, however, and further strong growth through the first half of 2006.

This report profiles the businesses of 20 leading companies that generate aggregate annual revenues equivalent in value to more than three-quarters of global animal health and nutrition product sales. Each profile analyses the background of the company concerned, and examines in detail the size, structure and recent performa

Veterinary Drug Residues & MRLs

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:53:25 GMT

This essential management report offers a comprehensive, global overview of residue incidence by species and market. It details major causes, detection techniques and technology, and control and prevention methods.

Customers increasingly require objective information to ensure that what they put on their plates is safe. This phenomenon has fuelled the need for quality assurance upon which international food trade is dependent.

How do regulatory bodies around the world control and monitor veterinary drug residues?
- Identify the major causes of residues.
- Analyse the laws in place worldwide to ensure that residues are kept in check.
- Become an expert in detection and testing techniques

The monitoring and controlling of veterinary residues in animal food products is a result of the heightened awareness of consumers. They require objective information that what they put on their plates is safe. This phenomenon has fuelled the need for quality assurance upon which international food trade is dependent. A recent survey commissioned by the European Union (EU) found that food safety is a major concern of European consumers. More than 60 per cent of the 23,000 people taking part indicated that they were “very concerned about the safety of food” when it came to chemical contaminants, which include veterinary drugs.

This report provides an overview of how regulatory bodies around the world control and monitor veterinary drug residues in samples taken from food producing animals. They include countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia. The international framework - as established by the Codex Alimentarius (Codex) under the aegis of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) - for controlling residues is also discussed, as are detection techniques.

Country chapters include information on the laws in place to ensure that residues are kept in check, with details of maximum residue limits (MRLs) in force an

Veterinary Diagnostics and Equipment: The Global Market

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:53:25 GMT

Although an immature industry, only just beginning to find its own identity, the global veterinary devices and diagnostics industry has started to grow in recent years. It is an area of veterinary medicine that has considerable growth potential and limited regulatory restrictions.

Profiling 70 of the leading companies operating in all aspects of the veterinary diagnostic market worldwide, the report analyzes the size and features of the diagnostics market in the context of the overall animal health market, including an examination of market drivers and constraints and regulatory issues.

The report looks beyond the diagnostic capabilities to examine ways in which these tools can be useful therapeutically, and goes on to reveal the future trends and opportunities of this emerging market.

Within the last decade, a new veterinary devices and diagnostics industry has started to emerge. Although still a young industry that is only just beginning to find its own identity, it is an area of veterinary medicine that has considerable growth potential.

The US Food and Drug Administration defines a medical device as: “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in-vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including any component, part, or accessory thereof, which is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions; in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals; or which is intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals. A device does not achieve any of its principle intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals, and is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its principal intended purposes.”

For veterinary applications, therapeutic devices (pacemakers, dialysis equipment and so on) are still few and far between. However, the manufacture and sale of diagnosis equipment for veteri

The world animal health market was worth US$17.4 billion in 2005. This report provides an overview of the global market in terms of structure and recent growth, and examines in detail 15 national markets which, together, generate some 85% of sales in the sector.

The US is the dominant market in the sector, generating 36% of the entire global total. No other national market is responsible for a share of more than 7%. Looking forward, the US will be responsible for 40% of global market growth, and will reach a value of US$8 billion by 2010. China will cement its position as the worlds second largest market for animal health products, while Brazil will replace France as the sectors third biggest market.

The world market for animal health products was worth US$17.4 billion in 2005. The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the global market in terms of structure and recent growth, and to examine in more detail 15 national markets which, together, generate some 85% of sales in the sector.

For the purposes of the study, the animal health products market is defined as a sector spanning veterinary pharmaceuticals, biologicals and medicated feed additives. It does not include nutritional supplements (vitamins, amino acids, etc.) or pet food, sales of which have been stripped out of calculations unless otherwise noted in text applicable to individual markets.

Each country profile contains background information on the state of the national economy and prospects for economic growth over the next five years. The importance of agriculture as a contributor to the GDP of individual countries is also noted, while statistics on livestock and companion animal populations and food animal production are presented, along with an analysis of recent trends.

These introductory sections are followed by an analysis of the national market for animal health products. This spans information on market size and recent development, market structure by product segment and sp

Companion Animal Health Products: New Edition

press@researchandmarkets.com — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:53:25 GMT

The companion animal sector has been the main driver of growth for the global animal health industry since the mid-1990s. This essential report analyses the size and structure of the companion animal market, profiles the companies leading this sector and assesses prospects for future growth.

Examine in detail market share across the sector with detailed information on size of business, contribution to total sales, key products and future prospects for the sector’s current market leaders.

Products for use in companion animals have been the main driver of growth in the world market for veterinary pharmaceuticals and vaccines since the mid-1990s. This report analyses the size and structure of the companion animal market, profiles the businesses of leading companies involved in the sector, and assesses prospects for growth through the remainder of this decade.

Chapter one of the study offers a brief overview of major health problems affecting the three main companion animal species (dogs, cats and horses), and identifies the products used to prevent, treat or control them. Viral, bacterial and parasitic infections are among the most prevalent challenges faced by companion animals, but chronic, age-related conditions are being diagnosed with increasing frequency in ageing dog and cat populations, with cardiovascular problems and cancer among the most significant diseases in this respect.

The products used to prevent, treat or control disease in companion animals are discussed in chapter two of the report. This section focuses on product groupings that are responsible for major shares of the market in value terms, including antiparasitics, anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories and biologicals. Established product classes and their modes of action are explained, while recent introductions to the market are discussed in more detail. Future launch activity in each major segment of the market is also addressed.
