The fragmentation of agriculture land is increasing with passage of time and with increasing human population. Hence, depending of farmers particularly marginal and landless farmers are increasing on dairy animal practices for their products (e.g. Milk, Milk products and dung etc.). As animal husbandry provides opportunity to generate enough money to small farmers on regular basis after accomplishing the daily demand or urban population or milk and milk products. Dairy farmers are facing the heavy economic losses due to the production diseases in dairy animals. The prevalence of production diseases is high in heavy yielders. Morevoer, the transition of animals has pertinent role in the development and control of production diseases of dairy animals. Developing new life in the womb and till the date of delivery animals requires high demand of energy, vitamins and minerals. Malnutrition anytime during this period could lead to metabolic disorder post parturiently.
All these facts clacked the brain of editors of this book to compile the experiences of different scientists/researchers from various countries of the world and provide the detail information on production diseases of dairy animals at one podium in the form of book. This book will provide detailed information on all aspects of post-parturient metabolic disorder in dairy animals. Every Chapter is complete entity in itself.
This book is written in a very simple, illustrative and coherent manner with all updated information so that everybody including scientist/ researchers, academicians, field veterinary practitioners, students and dairy farmer of national and international level will be benefited. The editors of this book are from three different countries and tried best to provide quality, informative and update material on Production Diseases of Dairy Animals. In editors opinion, this book will be extremely useful to all persons at national and international level, who are directly or indirectly engrossed with dairy animals.
