Bovine Medicine, 3rd Edition
Mezinárodní kolektiv autorů vytvořil kvalitní publikaci věnující se současnému trendu medicíny skotu. V současné době globalizace se veterinární péče v tomto odvětví přesunula od individuální léčby, do programu tvorby zdraví a analýz rizik. V publikaci jsou uvedeny postupy a metody zvládnutí této náročné problematiky s důrazem na prohlubování odborné úrovně nejen veterinárních lékařů ale i chovatelů skotu. Kniha je bohatě ilustrována, doplněna přehlednými tabulkami, grafy a algoritmy. Inspirativní jsou formuláře a kontrolní listy, které usnadní a zpřehlední náročnou problematiku veterinárních auditů. Autoři zcela přehledně osvětlují současný trend veterinární medicíny, který opouští zažitý model veterinární péče, kdy se veterinář zavolá, až když je problém nezvládnutelný vlastními silami. Tento model je nahrazen novým systémem, kdy veterinární lékař vystupuje v roli poradce se ohromným záběrem vědomostí a zkušeností od výživy, pohody zvířat, reprodukce, mikrobiologie, parazitologie, klinické patologie až po ekonomii. Tuto publikaci vřele doporučuji všem veterinárním lékařům specialistům chovu skotu, neboť se pro ně stane nejen zdrojem informací, ale i inspirací pro zkvalitnění své činnosti, ale i odborný profesní růst.
