This comprehensive guide provides a detailed overview of the methods employed in the clinical examination of herd and individual animals, including the collection of pertinent historical data related to production diseases in animals, as well as the laboratory techniques utilized for confirmatory diagnosis of disease. The guide covers all practical aspects of the clinical examination of animals and commonly employed laboratory techniques, such as ruminal fluid examination, CSF examination, bone marrow and lymph node biopsy, blood transfusion, enzymology, and other biochemical parameters, which are utilized in the diagnosis of metabolic and production diseases.
The methods described in this guide are presented in a straightforward manner, making them easily accessible to undergraduate students for use in the laboratory. The guide also includes fundamental questions at the end of each exercise, which enable students to engage their critical thinking skills and interpret and correlate the results with clinical signs of the diseases, ultimately serving as an aid in the confirmatory diagnosis of disease. This guide will also be beneficial for postgraduate students pursuing a master's degree in veterinary medicine.
