Veterinary Toxicology

Veterinary toxicology has gained increased significance in recent years due to the indiscriminate use of farm chemicals and drugs, as well as the detrimental effects of environmental pollution on the health of animals. In developing countries, domestic animals are particularly susceptible to the impact of natural toxicants, such as phytotoxins and mycotoxins, as a result of their indiscriminate feeding habits.

Toxicology has been recognized as a distinct discipline within veterinary sciences at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past four decades, and significant emphasis has been placed on its teaching, research, and practical applications from a clinical perspective.

This book has been prepared in a highly comprehensive manner, with up-to-date references that offer valuable, clinically oriented guidance on a wide range of potentially toxic substances. Additionally, it covers both traditional and non-traditional areas of toxicology, and provides a wealth of quick-reference charts and tables that allow for easy access to essential information.
