Veterinary Toxicology

Veterinary toxicology has gained significant importance in recent years due to the increasing and unrestricted use of agricultural chemicals and drugs, as well as the detrimental impact of environmental pollution on the health of animals. In addition, the indiscriminate feeding habits of domestic animals, particularly in developing countries, make them more susceptible to the effects of natural toxicants, such as phytotoxins and mycotoxins.

Toxicology has been recognized as a distinct discipline within veterinary science at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past four decades, and considerable 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, utilizing up-to-date references that provide invaluable, clinically-oriented guidance on numerous potentially toxic substances. Furthermore, it covers both traditional and non-traditional areas of toxicology and includes a wealth of quick-reference charts and tables that allow for easy access to vital information.
