      Essentials of Domestic Animal Embryology is a comprehensive, modern treatment of the subject dealing with all organ systems and including important molecular aspects of animal development. Written with the student in mind, the text covers embryology of the domestic species, both general (development from formation of the gametes, through fertilization and initial embryogenesis, up to organ formation) and special (development of the organ systems). It also includes sections on teratology, assisted reproduction technologies, societal relevance, and the implications for current veterinary practice of a long-established science. Students of veterinary medicine, animal science, biomedical sciences and biotechnology, at both undergraduate and graduate stages of their careers, will find this volume essential for their needs. The international experience of the authors has been applied to produce a textbook of international relevance, likely to remain an important resource for many years to come.

      L'augmentation du nombre de nouveaux animaux de compagnie (NAC) induit pour le praticien qui souhaite les prendre en charge une démarche individuelle de formation. Le savoir-faire technique nécessaire et la connaissance des particularités de ces espèces sont souvent difficiles à maîtriser du fait d'un manque d'expérience pratique et de la fragmentation des connaissances théoriques. Cet atlas, consacré spécifiquement aux petits mammifères que l'on rencontre en consultation vétérinaire (lapin, furet, cobaye, rat, hamster, etc.) offre non seulement dans un seul ouvrage toutes les connaissances théoriques nécessaires mais propose également un véritable contexte de prise en charge pratique de ces animaux. Fondé sur l'expérience pratique et didactique de l'auteur, qui soigne exclusivement des NAC depuis de nombreuses années, cet ouvrage détaille le normal et le pathologique à travers des chapitres transversaux qui favorisent une mémorisation aisée et une compréhension globale : mode de vie et conditions d'entretien, anatomie et physiologie, contention, examen clinique, gestes de base, sédation et anesthésie, prophylaxie et interventions de convenance, examens radiographiques et enfin, dominantes pathologiques. Le « coup d'oeil clinique » indispensable à une consultation réussie est apporté par plus de 500 photographies et radiographies cliniques. De nombreux conseils sont également dispensés aux propriétaires afin de pouvoir répondre au mieux à leurs interrogations. Destiné aussi bien au praticien confirmé qu'à l'étudiant vétérinaire, cet ouvrage de référence est incontournable pour la formation initiale et la pratique quotidienne du vétérinaire.
