Veterinärmedicin: hästar

En illustrerad studie i funktionell anatomi avseende skelett, muskler, leder, ligament samt synoviala strukturer. Som huvudsakligt modelldjur illustreras hästen men som referens ingår i viss utsträckning även hundens anatomi i text och illustrationer. Innehållet är ursprungligen utformat för studier i klinisk anatomi på veterinärprogrammet vid SLU i Uppsala, men används även till fristående kurser samt som referenslitteratur för praktiserande veterinärer, djursjukvårdare, ridlärare, equiterapeuter m fl. Totalt består boken av 84 färgsidor med beskrivande text och över 100 färgillustrationer. Innehållet är uppdelat i tre huvuddelar: skelett, muskler samt leder och ligament. Innehållsförteckningar och ett utförligt sökregister gör det enkelt att slå upp anatomiska strukturer.

Equine anatomical structure and terminology is universally regarded as one of the most difficult aspects of equine studies. Equine students have long been familiar with Goody's Horse Anatomy: The Pictorial Approach to Equine Structure, a textbook used in equine colleges all over the world. Now, based on this classic work, talented equestrian artist, Maggie Raynor, has prepared a workbook designed to make learning not only easier, but a lot more fun. Students are asked to label or colour various parts of the equine body in a succession of exercises covering every part of the horse and every aspect of its structure, from the skeleton to the outer surfaces. A natural stable mate to Horse Anatomy, The Horse Anatomy Workbook will assist a new generation of students to familiarize themselves with equine structure and terminology.

This practical book helps you interpret and connect the physical signals that horses display in response to their environment. These signals are evident in the everyday actions, gestures and attitudes that horses communicate to each other, but are often so subtle that they can go unnoticed by humans. This book aims to rectify that, offering horse lovers and equine professionals an opportunity to gain a unique insight into their 'horse's world'.Key features:includes detailed description of language signs of domestic horses, with a special emphasis on calming signalsincludes 275 pictures to visualize various language signs, calming signals, behaviour sequences and facial featurespresents communication ladders to show how a horse responds to incentives in his environment, and what signals he uses at certain momentscontains tips on the use of the communication ladders and calming signals to improve the socialisation, training and wellbeing of your horseconsiders equine psychological stress from an environmental perspective, providing a valuable alternative to the current common clinical perspective.After reading this book you will be more astute in spotting calming signals, displacement activities, stress signals and distance-increasing signals, and better able to see which stimuli your horse can handle and which he cannot. This means you will know what to do to calm your horse before his stress rises to an unmanageable level. Language Signs and Calming Signals of Horses is both fascinating and important reading for any equine veterinary practitioner, student or nurse, as well as horse owners and trainers.

Effective horse trainers strive to improve the performance of their horses while preserving the integrity of the musculoskeletal apparatus. Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse supplies an anatomical and functional overview of the topic, enabling trainers to optimize the different exercises their horses undergo during training and competition.Following a brief description of the biomechanics of the muscles underlying equine movement, the book discusses the muscles of the forelimb, hindlimb, and neck and trunk. These fundamentals have direct bearing on the later chapters, which focus on training and the core exercises for a horse.This text is illustrated throughout by the author’s top-quality photographs, diagrams, and his own beautiful anatomical drawings. The book is of lasting value to all professionals and well-informed amateurs who work with horses: veterinarians, trainers and riders, researchers, physical therapists, and educators in equine courses.

Jean-Marie Denoix is the world’s leading equine musculoskesletal 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 three-dimensional concept of anatomy.This new edition replaces ultrasound images and most of the radiographic and MRI images with new, updated versions and adds brand new images of extraordinarily high quality. The multiple views of each area of the distal limb provide an extremely detailed evaluation, while every part opens with an anatomical drawing by the author. Each double-page spread deals with a single dissection viewed by means of colour photographs, labelled B&W equivalents, plus x-rays, ultrasound and MRI scans as required.Diagnosis and management of distal limb lameness require a precise knowledge of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the equine distal joints, ligaments and tendons, presented in the last chapter. The atlas is designed for maximum clarity using a generous page size and is essential for anybody involved in detailed anatomical study, complex lameness evaluation or advanced imaging techniques.

Its original 25 pages of illustrations have more than doubled and now include over 250 individual drawings. All of these drawings have been specially prepared for this new edition by John Goody, and all are fully labelled and annotated in the accompanying legends. The text is primarily intended to explain and in many instances to expand upon the content of the drawings. The basic make-up of the horse is considered with the 'points' of the horse being shown from several different views. Bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments providing the anatomical basis for these surface points are dealt with in some detail, the emphasis being placed throughout on those structures that can be seen or felt from the surface of the body. Component parts of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems are shown in a number of the drawings, as are nerves and blood vessels. Special consideration is given to the structure of the head, with the emphasis on the nasal cavity, teeth, larynx and guttural pouches. The structure of the limbs is also illustrated in considerable detail, especially the foot, and reference is made to injuries and diseases that can result in poor conformation. The wealth of information contained in the book will be of great interest and value to veterinary and equine studies students, to owners, riders and breeders - in fact anyone requiring to know more about the structure of the horse and what makes it one of the most beautiful of animals.
