The avian skeletal system is drawing increasing attention from researchers because it serves as a unique research model to study bone metabolism and pathologies, as well as the importance of bone health and its relationship with animal productivity and welfare. The avian skeleton is a delicate system providing structural support to the bird and minerals for eggshell formation, meanwhile, functioning as an immune organ. There is a lack of complete understanding of the physiological difference between mammalian and avian bones, the impact of genetic improvements, the interaction between immunity and bone health, the avian bone 3D structural development and turnover, the biological function of avian bone, and its relationship with animal well-being. Additionally, skeletal abnormalities can have a serious effect on poultry farming whereby conditions such as osteomyelitis, rickets and chondrodystrophy, among others, can cause changes in gait patterns, reduced walking ability and other pathophysiologies with subsequent detrimental effects on feed conversion and growth, as well as economic losses.
"This fully updated new edition provides a comprehensive guide to enzyme-supplemented animal feeds. It explores using enzymes in fish and shrimp diets, new understanding of how phytases function, and NSPase research. It also includes new chapters on enzyme combinations, antibiotic free diets and measuring response in feed trials"--

Time of flight mass spectrometry identifies the elements of a compound by subjecting a sample of ions to a strong electrical field. Illuminating emerging analytical techniques in high-resolution mass spectrometry, Liquid Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry shows readers how to analyze unknown and emerging contaminants—such as antibiotics, steroids, analgesics—using advanced mass spectrometry techniques. The text combines theoretical discussion with concrete examples, making it suitable for analytical chemists, environmental chemists, organic chemists, medicinal chemists, university research chemists, and graduate and post-doctorate students.

This report is the first of its kind to measure health service coverage and financial protection to assess countries' progress towards universal health coverage. It shows that at least 400 million people do not have access to one or more essential health services and 6% of people in low- and middle-income countries are tipped into or pushed further into extreme poverty because of health spending. Universal health coverage (UHC) means that all people receive the quality essential health services they need without being exposed to financial hardship. A significant number of countries at all levels of development are embracing the goal of UHC as the right thing to do for their citizens. It is a...
