A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A significant contribution to wildlife disease investigations. No other book on animal restraint is so taxonomically broad .No other book on restraint has so many pictures, tables, drawings and graphics of the equipment, techniques, mechanics, anatomy, physiology, and results and consequences of restraint and handling as this one. It delves into some subjects not covered elsewhere and is, on the whole, heavily referenced.... this book has good basic information on physical restraint tools, methods, and concerns on a breadth of species and some good basic information on chemical restraint. These are important considerations for the student and for people with relatively little experience in the field, and it could save your life or career .It is a classic everyone should have or read and one of the many legacy contributions Dr. Fowler has made to zoo and wildlife medicine. – Journal of Wildlife Diseases, October 2008

Quatrième de couverture

Explains the latest methods of gross and clinical restraint, helping handlers comply with federal and state regulations for humane care of animals.

The objectives of this new edition, as with the first, are to present discussions and illustrations of the principles of animal restraint and to describe restraint practices for diverse species of vertebrae wild and domestic animals. The techniques discussed are not all inclusive but have been used successfully by the author and respected colleagues. One of the more significant changes in general restraint is the development of chemical restraint. Effective drug use and methods for chemical restraint of animal groups are included.
