This textbook deals comprehensively with livestock production diseases and their prevention in the major species: ruminants, swine, and poultry. It gives an interdisciplinary view on pathophysiology, prophylaxis, and health management.
Livestock breeding and husbandry is often accompanied by a conflict of interest between the animal´s biological requirements and economic producer needs. This conflict is increasingly gaining attention not only by producers, animal scientists, and veterinarians, but also by the public. It creates significant future challenges, which are described and addressed in this book. The main topics covered are:
• the use of antimicrobials with emphasis on security and safety for producers/consumers• the impact of locomotion disorders on performance and welfare of farm animals
• the interactions of gut microbiome, genetics, climate change, metabolic status and mineral homeostasis with reproduction, performance, animal health and welfare
• infectious and respiratory diseases
• the raising of neonates
A special section is devoted to behavioural signs indicating an impaired animal welfare. These are the basis for precision livestock farming (PLF) technology and the development of new management concepts.
The present work is a valuable resource for veterinarians, students, as well as expert readers from animal and agricultural sciences, food safety and technology.

Dr. Josef Johann Gross
Studied Agricultural Sciences with a focus on Animal Science at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. Currently, Dr. Gross is Senior Scientist at the Veterinary Physiology division at the University of Bern, where he investigates the nutritional impact on the adaptive physiology and health status of dairy cows. He intensively published on transition cow health and metabolism, colostrum quality, the impact of nutrients and metabolites on adaptation physiology, and metabolic robustness of high-yielding dairy cows. Dr. Gross serves as editor and reviewer of many high-ranking journals. In 2019, he was co-chair and involved in the organization of the International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm Animals (ICPD) in Bern, Switzerland with 50 internationally recognized invited speakers and 380 attendees from all over the world.
