Llama and Alpaca Care: Medicine, Surgery, Reproduction, Nutrition and Herd Health
Lamy se poslední dobou staly oblíbenými chovanci zoologických zahrad a zookoutků,ale i nadšenců, toužící vlastnit doma něco exotického. Díky své přirozené odolnosti jsou proto rozšížené i v naši republice. To klade ovšem nároky i na praktické veterinární lékaře, kteří jsou oslovení chovateli těchto zajímavých přežvýkavců, u kterých poznatky z nemoci ovcí, koz a skotu nepostačuji. Tato kniha najde určitě mezi praktickými veterináři své čtenáře, neboť poskytuje dostatek informací od odchovu, výživy, reprodukce, klinické propedeutiky, onemocnění jednotlivých orgánových soustav, anestezie, analgezie a chirurgie do sedmi kapitol. V klinické propedeutice jsou uvedeny vakcinační schémata, dávky doporučených léčiv, zásady infuzní terapie a ochrana před predátory a zásady biosecurity. Kapitola výživy je souhrn aktuálních informací nejen o výživě, ale i chování těchto malých přežvýkavců. Kapitola reprodukce je přehledem problematiky reprodukce, laktace, křížení, infertility a embryotransferu. Anesteziologové přivítají kapitolu o zásadách bezpečné anestezie a anelgezie s nejnovějšími informacemi a farmakodynamice těchto přípravků. Několik stran je věnováno i akupunktuře u lam. Chirurgická kapitola je třešničkou na dortu poznání této knihy. Kniha je vkusně ilustrována a doplněna grafy a tabulkami.
