1. Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle caused by the bacteria Anaplasma marginale. It is characterized by fever, weakness, anemia, emaciation, and jaundice.
2. The disease is transmitted by ticks of several genera and can also be spread mechanically by flies or contaminated surgical instruments.
3. Anaplasmosis causes major losses to cattle industries in tropical and subtropical regions. It infects red blood cells and clinical signs vary from mild to severe depending on factors like age and previous exposure.
Ascites refers to an accumulation of non-inflammatory fluid in the peritoneal cavity, characterized by a distended lower abdomen. It can be caused by decreased plasma protein levels, increased hydrostatic pressure, or liver or kidney damage. Clinically, affected animals have an enlarged, barrel-shaped abdomen with fluid waves visible on palpation. Diagnosis involves abdominal ultrasound or paracentesis to analyze fluid characteristics. Treatment focuses on resolving underlying causes, increasing plasma proteins, diuretics to promote fluid excretion, and draining excess fluid in severe cases.

The most important species are B. bovis, B. bigemina, and B. divergens. Clinical signs include fever, anemia, jaundice, and red urine. Severe cases can cause death. Diagnosis involves finding the parasites on blood smears. Control relies on tick control, vaccination, and treatment of infected cattle. Babesiosis can also infect humans in some areas.
The Mallein test is used to diagnose Glanders, a bacterial disease caused by Burkholderia mallei, in a sensitive and specific manner. Mallein, a glycoprotein fraction of B. mallei, is injected via eye-drop. If the animal has Glanders, it will produce antibodies and show swelling, secretion and conjunctivitis in the eye within 48 hours. While Mallein is the most common test, some cross-reactivity with Streptococcus equi can produce false positives. The test takes advantage of the infected animal's hypersensitive reaction to Mallein.
This document discusses Babesia, a tick-borne protozoan parasite with a complex life cycle involving ticks and mammalian hosts. It causes babesiosis, also known as Texas cattle fever, in cattle and other animals. The parasite infects and lyses red blood cells, causing anemia. Clinical signs include fever, hemoglobinuria, jaundice and respiratory distress. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of blood smears or serological tests. Control relies on reducing tick populations through acaricides and quarantining infected animals.
Breeding Soundness Evaluation in Female Animal by Rectal Palpation and Ultras...Abdullah Al Mubin
This document summarizes a presentation on breeding soundness evaluation of female animals through rectal palpation and ultrasonography. The presentation covers the importance of breeding soundness evaluation to identify healthy animals for breeding programs. It describes evaluating the cervix, uterus, ovaries, and other structures by rectal palpation and using ultrasonography. Ultrasonography allows viewing images of the corpus luteum, endometrium, follicular cysts, luteal cysts, pyometra, and endometritis. The conclusion states that breeding soundness evaluation is important for farm economy by allowing selection of healthy dams that can produce healthy offspring.
This document defines and discusses endometritis, a condition where the endometrium (lining of the uterus) becomes inflamed. It outlines predisposing factors like retained placenta or difficult birth. The principal microorganisms involved are Actinomyces pyogenes and Fusobacterium necrophorum. Clinical signs include a white vaginal discharge and failure to conceive. Diagnosis involves history, examination, culture and biopsy. Treatment consists of intrauterine and parenteral antibiotics, hormonal therapy with estradiol and oxytocin, and supportive care like cleaning and balanced diet. Management focuses on keeping the animal in a hygienic environment.
This document provides information on various diseases that affect equines in India. It begins with background on the equine population in India and then lists and describes several important viral diseases (Hendra, equine influenza, equine herpes virus, equine infectious anemia, African horse sickness, equine viral arteritis, West Nile fever, equine encephalitis) and bacterial diseases (glanders, strangles, tetanus, Rhodococcus equi, leptospirosis, botryomycosis). For each disease, it discusses the causative agent, transmission, pathogenesis, clinical signs, lesions, and current status or outbreaks in India. Considerable detail is provided for Hendra virus, equ
Lactation tetany, also known as hypomagnesaemic tetany or grass tetany, is a metabolic disease of lactating ruminants characterized by low magnesium levels and clinical signs of hyperaesthesia, tetany, and convulsions. It occurs in cattle grazing on pastures high in potassium 2-4 months after calving, which decreases magnesium absorption. Affected cattle experience sudden onset of muscle twitching and spasms, leading to staggering, falling, and potentially fatal convulsions. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and low serum magnesium levels below 2.5 mg%, and treatment involves intravenous calcium followed by magnesium supplementation.
This document summarizes common diseases that affect camels, including respiratory, digestive, urinary, and skin diseases. It describes camel myiasis, a chronic rhinitis caused by fly larvae. Pneumonia in camels can be caused by viruses, bacteria like Pasteurella, or parasites. Indigestion and bloat are discussed as digestive issues. Urolithiasis, the formation of bladder stones, can occur when camels ingest too much silica. Parasitic dermatitis like mange and mycotic dermatitis/ringworm are also summarized, outlining their causes, signs, diagnosis, and treatments.
Lumpy skin disease is a pox viral disease of cattle characterized by fever, skin nodules, and lesions in the mouth and respiratory tract. It can infect up to 45% of cattle in a herd and cause mortality of up to 10% as well as reduced milk production and fertility. The disease is transmitted by biting flies and can also spread through milk, saliva, and shared water sources. There is no treatment for lumpy skin disease. Vaccination is the best form of prevention and should be given annually to all cattle, especially before wet summer months when flies are more prevalent.

This document discusses determining the age of various animals based on their teeth. It provides a table listing the average age of common animals like cows, goats, sheep, dogs and more. It then explains how to estimate the age of calves and oxen by counting their milk and permanent teeth. Charts are included showing the teeth development and typical number of teeth for cows/oxen and goats at different ages to help estimate their age. Video clips of examining the teeth of oxen, buffaloes, cows and goats are also referenced for demonstration purposes.
This document discusses cystitis, or inflammation of the urinary bladder. It notes that cystitis can be caused by trauma, ascending or descending infections, iatrogenic factors, nutritional issues, urinary stasis, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes mellitus, and rare neoplasms. Common symptoms in dogs and cats include frequent and painful urination, cloudy urine, abdominal pain, and dullness. Diagnosis involves urinalysis, culture and sensitivity testing, ultrasound or cystoscopy. Treatment focuses on removing the cause, managing pain and inflammation, flushing out organisms, correcting urine pH, and controlling infections with antibiotics based on sensitivity testing.
This document discusses selecting replacement females and culling underperforming females. It covers determining breeding goals, identifying strengths and weaknesses, selecting replacement females using performance evaluation of individual animals and their relatives, and estimated breeding values. Traits like birth weight, growth rates, litter weight, and parasite resistance are important. Record keeping tools to evaluate performance include spreadsheets from universities and software. National programs provide estimated breeding values to compare genetically superior breeding stock.
The reproductive cycle of female dogs (bitches) consists of four stages: proestrus, estrus, diestrus, and anestrus. Proestrus lasts around 9 days as estrogen levels rise, followed by estrus which lasts 9 days when the bitch will accept mating. Ovulation occurs 2-3 days after the LH surge, with fertilization possible 4-7 days later. Diestrus then lasts around 2 months as progesterone levels rise. Finally, anestrus is when the bitch is not receptive to mating until hormone levels change to start the cycle again.
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young dogs. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from feline panleukopenia virus or a related parvovirus of nondomestic animals
This document discusses blood transfusion in animals. It covers the basics of blood transfusion including indications, components transfused, blood typing and donor selection. It then discusses specific details regarding canine, feline, equine and bovine blood groups. It also covers cross-matching, collection sites, dose calculation, transfusion procedures and potential complications. The key aspects are blood typing and donor selection to avoid transfusion reactions, and monitoring for side effects during and after transfusion.
Ear Infection in Dogs: Causes, Treatments and PreventionJohn Reynolds
Dogs mostly suffer from Ear infection but they are often ignored and left untreated. Ear infections are most commonly caused by bacteria and yeast. Ear infections are also of different types. This Presentation gives us information about types, symptoms, causes and prevention of ear infection. Take some time off to watch this presentation. You never know when you might have to help a poor little dog suffering from ear infection.

A 3-year-old female Malabari goat experienced a complete uterine prolapse immediately after giving birth to twins. The prolapsed uterus and bladder were replaced surgically using epidural anesthesia and Buhner's suture technique. Post-operatively, the goat was given medications including meloxicam, cefotaxime, calcium gluconate, oxytocin, and an intrauterine preparation. The surgery was successful in fully replacing the uterus. Common sequelae of uterine prolapse include necrosis, laceration, infection, shock, and thromboembolism.
Taking history of animals is the most important part of the clinical examination as animals cannot describe their own symptoms. The veterinarian must carefully examine the animal and assess the accuracy of the owner's history. It is essential to handle the owner with diplomacy and use non-technical language, as livestock owners may not understand technical terms. Relevant history includes the owner's name, species/breed, disease history, present illness details, previous exposure, previous disease, and management history including nutrition, breeding, housing and handling. The goal is to determine if any changes preceded the disease appearance.
This document discusses canine demodicosis, a parasitic skin disease in dogs caused by an overpopulation of Demodex mites in the hair follicles. It covers the etiology (Demodex canis mites), pathogenesis (mites enter follicles and multiply), clinical signs (alopecia, scaling, crusting of the skin), diagnosis (identifying mites in skin scrapings under a microscope), prognosis (guarded for generalized cases), and treatment (miticidal dips and oral medications). The life cycle and types of Demodex mites are also described.
Kennel cough, also known as canine infectious tracheobronchitis, is a highly contagious disease of the canine respiratory tract that causes sudden onset of a paroxysmal cough lasting several days. The two most common causes are canine parainfluenza virus and Bordetella bronchiseptica. Clinical signs include a dry, hacking cough that is more frequent during exercise or changes in temperature/humidity. Diagnosis is based on exposure history and cough, with radiography and cytology used in severe cases to check for pneumonia. Treatment involves antibiotics, cough suppressants, bronchodilators and supportive care. Prevention focuses on vaccination and sanitary kennel practices like isolation, disinfection and

The document provides a brief history of health care-associated infections (HAIs), noting that while some understanding of cleanliness and isolation existed historically, the true germ theory of disease was not widely accepted until the late 19th century work of Koch, Pasteur, Lister, Semmelweis, Holmes, and Nightingale. Early hospitals often lacked basic sanitation and infection control practices, leading to high rates of surgical site infections, puerperal fever, and other HAIs. Over time hospitals implemented some segregation, handwashing, instrument cleaning, and environmental sanitation practices which helped reduce HAI transmission, though the

One Health is an integrative approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It promotes increased collaboration between sectors to better prevent, detect, and respond to emerging diseases at the human-animal interface. The document discusses Indonesia's experience with highly pathogenic avian influenza and the importance of a One Health approach for addressing complex disease challenges through cross-disciplinary partnerships, surveillance, and prevention efforts.
Primary health care (PHC) aims to provide comprehensive, affordable care that is as close to communities as possible. The key principles of PHC are that it is socially appropriate, universally accessible, and focuses on those most in need. PHC addresses major health problems through promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services. It incorporates related sectors like agriculture, education, and housing. PHC relies on community participation and self-reliance. Its core activities include education on health problems, nutrition, immunization, and treatment of common illnesses. PHC forms the basis of broader health systems by organizing resources to promote health and narrow health inequalities.

Nurses play a key role in preventing and responding to potential bio-terrorism threats involving Botox. The United States government and FDA should implement policies to regulate access to Botox and its raw materials in order to prevent terrorist use for germ warfare. As Botox use is common and rising, terrorists could potentially intercept raw product and contaminate it, so preventative measures are needed. Advanced practice nurses are trained in public health roles that prepare them to plan for, respond to, and help communities recover from health disasters like a Botox attack. Nurses understand safety protocols and collaborate across disciplines to promote maximal protection of public health.
One Health: A Holistic Approach to Achieving Global Well-beinggreendigital
Introduction:
In an interconnected world where the boundaries between humans, and animals. and the environment blurred. One Health has emerged as a comprehensive approach to addressing complex health challenges. One Health recognizes the intricate connections between the Health of humans and animals. and ecosystems, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts across disciplines to achieve optimal well-being for all. This article delves into the fundamental principles of It, and its historical roots. and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach global Health.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Understanding One Health:
A- Definition and Scope:
It is an integrative approach that considers the Health of humans, animals. and the environment as interdependent entities. It acknowledges that the Health of one component influences the Health of the others. and disruptions in any of these systems can have far-reaching consequences. This approach goes beyond traditional silos in health management. and embraces a holistic perspective. recognizing the intricate web of connections that shape our Health.
B- Historical Roots:
The roots of the It concept can traced back to ancient civilizations. where the interconnectedness of human and animal health acknowledged. But, the formal recognition of It as a distinct field gained momentum in the late 20th century. The emergence of zoonotic diseases transmitted between animals. and humans highlighted the need for a collaborative approach to disease prevention and control.
Key Principles of One Health:
A- Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
At the heart of It is interdisciplinary collaboration. This principle involves breaking down the traditional barriers between medical, veterinary. and environmental sciences. Professionals from various fields work together to understand the complex dynamics of Health. and to develop effective strategies for prevention, surveillance, and response to emerging threats.
B- Zoonotic Disease Surveillance:
Given the increasing frequency of zoonotic disease outbreaks. It emphasizes surveillance and early detection. Monitoring diseases at the human-animal-environment interface is crucial for identifying potential threats before. they escalate into global pandemics. This proactive approach involves close collaboration between public health agencies. veterinary services, and environmental monitoring bodies.
C- Environmental Stewardship:
It recognizes the impact of environmental degradation on Health. Climate change, deforestation, and pollution can exacerbate the spread of diseases. affect water and food sources, and compromise the well-being of ecosystems. Integrating environmental stewardship into health policies is essential for safeguarding the Health of present and future generations.
Examples of One Health in Action:
A- Pandemic Preparedness:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of a It approach. The virus, believed to have originated in bats.
The document provides an overview of different frameworks for conceptualizing health systems. It describes the World Health Organization's definition of a health system as including all organizations, people, and actions aimed at promoting, restoring, or maintaining health. It also outlines WHO's six building blocks of a health system: service delivery, health workforce, information, medical products/vaccines/technology, financing, and governance. Additionally, it summarizes key components of health systems from the perspectives of the World Bank, including financing, payment, organization of service delivery, regulation, persuasion, politics, ethics, and values.
This chapter provides an introduction to public health including:
- Defining public health as the science of preventing disease, promoting health and efficiency through organized community efforts.
- Outlining the core activities of public health such as preventing epidemics, protecting the environment, and promoting healthy behaviors.
- Describing the major disciplines of public health including nutrition, reproductive health, environmental health, and epidemiology.
- Distinguishing between clinical medicine which treats individual patients, community health which focuses on group health status, and public health which promotes population health through government actions.
- Discussing some of the ethical challenges in public health around balancing individual liberties with community health, and addressing economic and religious concerns.
Primary health care (PHC) refers to essential health care that is accessible, affordable, and provided at the local community level. It aims to address the most common health problems and is the first point of contact for individuals with the health system. PHC services include health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of common illnesses, and community development. It is intended to be universally accessible and rely on community participation. The principles of PHC emphasize equity, self-reliance, and intersectoral coordination.

The three key points are: 1) Primary health care aims to provide basic health services universally and affordably through community participation and self-reliance. 2) Community health nursing focuses on health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation through collaboration with communities and populations. 3) Community health and development are influenced by social, economic, political and environmental factors and require multisectoral collaboration.
Public health optometry combines principles of public health and optometry. It aims to provide eye care, promote eye health, and train community eye care workers by reaching out to communities. An optometrist applies these principles to address barriers preventing access to services. Public health optometry programs provide access to eye care while educating communities on conditions like cataract, refractive errors, and diabetic eye diseases. Outreach visits are planned to meet local needs, through screening and identifying issues and providing treatments like spectacles.
The document discusses primary health care (PHC) as outlined at the International Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978 in Alma-Ata. It established the goal of "Health for All" by 2000 and recognized PHC as the key to achieving this. The conference's Declaration of Alma-Ata defined PHC as essential care that is universally accessible, affordable, and participatory. It outlined six principles of PHC - equity, accessibility, acceptability, community participation, appropriate technology, and multi-sectoral collaboration. The document then provides details on each of these principles and how they are implemented in PHC systems.

Polo originated in India, where it was known as 'Sagol Kangjei' and was played on horseback using a wooden ball. The aim of the game is to score goals by hitting the ball between the opposing team's goal posts using a long-handled mallet. Teams consist of four players each who play in periods called chukkers, with games made up of six chukkers or seven minutes each. Horses specially trained for polo are used and riders must be able to control their horse with one hand while hitting the ball with their mallet. Protective gear including helmets and pads are worn for safety in the fast-paced game.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Cultivation of human viruses and its different techniques.MDAsifKilledar
Viruses are extremely small, infectious agents that invade cells of all types. These have been culprits in many human disease including small pox,flu,AIDS and ever present common cold as well as plants bacteria and archea .
Viruses cannot multiply outside the living host cell, However the isolation, enumeration and identification become a difficult task. Instead of chemical medium they require a host body.
Viruses can be cultured in the animals such as mice ,monkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs etc. After inoculation animals are carefully examined for the development of signs or symptoms, further they may be killed.
The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

Mites normally feed on the undersurface of the leaves but the symptoms are more easily seen on the uppersurface.
Tetranychids produce blotching (Spots) on the leaf-surface.
Tarsonemids and Eriophyids produce distortion (twist), puckering (Folds) or stunting (Short) of leaves.
Eriophyids produce distinct galls or blisters (fluid-filled sac in the outer layer)
2. Introduction
Changes in modern societies were driven by several factors, namely economic
and cultural globalization, scientific and technological progress, increased
access to information, or the acknowledgement of consumers’ rights. All these
changes originate the perception that ethical behavior is essential in
organization’s practices especially in the way they deal with aspects such as
human rights. These issues are usually under the umbrella of the concept of
“social responsibility”.
By social responsibility it is meant that organizations can meet its fundamental
goals of accomplishing a particular public endeavor or of increasing
shareholders’ profits, but at the same time fulfilling other important objectives
namely with regards the satisfaction of stakeholders’ interests.
Sometimes “social responsibility” is also associated with environmental
concerns and the protection of the commonwealth of life.
3. Types of hospital social responsibility
Passive social responsibility
1. Creating wealth and promoting employment.
2. Protecting the investment of all shareholders (namely the government in public hospitals).
3. Protecting the interests of all stakeholders.
4. Respecting human rights.
5. Abstention of environmental damage (namely in dealing with toxic waste).
6. Abiding to the law.
Active social responsibility
1. Implementing ethical codes of conduct.
2. Promoting reverse discrimination policies.
3. Public accountability of management decisions and performance indicators.
4. Protecting animal interests.
5. Contributing actively for environmental protection.
6. Engaging in national or international solidarity programs.
4. Principles of hospital corporate governance
1. Goals of hospital corporate governance: to increase its performance, to assure its social
responsibility namely concerning the search for the common good, and to promote conformance
with regards accountability arrangements in a fair and transparent way.
2. External controls
(a) Public accountability: Explicit, public detailed procedures for evaluating hospital
performance with full public report (use reports, performance reports, compliance reports,
consultants), global budgeting, fair grievance procedures (legal, non-legal), and adequate
privacy protection.
(b) Stakeholders accountability: External mechanisms of reporting, public disclosure of the
processes and rationale adopted in management, external audit, financial account and annual
report.
3. Internal controls
(a) Self-regulation: Internal audits, ethical codes and disclosure of directors’ performance and
remuneration
(b) Board: Unitary versus dual board, mechanisms of appointment to the board, performance
evaluation.
5. Social Responsibilities and Law
• National and international law related to social responsibility is already in
practice, but law by itself is insufficient to promote such an ethical behavior.
• A different approach is needed because ethical rules do not exist in many
instances.
• Legislation is just a minimum that guides organizations conduct.
• Many providers are willing to do more than this minimum demanded by law,
requesting their certification of social responsibility under international
norms—Social Accountability SA 8000 and ISO 26000.
6.
7. Drivers of social responsibility
SOCIALVALUES HOSPITAL PERFORMANCE
• Avoid unethical practices.
• Engaging in solidarity or cultural
programs.
• Promoting equality.
• Implementing ethical codes of conduct.
• Improving quality of care by influencing
convenience, comfort and safety of
patients.
8. DUTIES OF VETERINARIANS TO
THE PUBLIC
• Veterinarian as citizen.
• Public health.
• Livestock production and
technology.
• Veterinarians and food
regulatory authorities.
• Veterinarian as an Educator.
9. Veterinarian as a Citizen
• Veterinarians as good citizens possessed of special training, shall advise
concerning the health and husbandry of the animals, in the localities wherein
they dwell.
• They shall play their part in enforcing the laws of the community and in
substantiating the institutions that advance the interests of humanity.
• They shall cooperate with the authorities in the observance and enforcement
of sanitary laws and the laws relating to drugs, poisons and pharmacy made
for the protection of health.
10. Public health
• A veterinarian engaged in public health work shall enlighten the public
concerning quarantine regulations and measures for the prevention of
epizootic, zoonotic and food borne diseases and intoxications and
communicable diseases.
• At all times, the veterinarians shall notify the respective authorities of every
case of communicable diseases under their care in accordance with the laws,
rules and regulations of the authorities.
• When an epidemic prevails, the veterinarian shall continue his/her labor
without regard to the risk to his/her own health. She/he shall endeavor to
ensure hygienic handling of animal products and wastes thereof and educate
the public of food-borne diseases and intoxications.
11. • The “One Health One Medicine” concept has
become an accepted vision for professionals
working in the public health field.
• One health is a holistic systems approach to
understanding health across all species.
• It’s a recognition that human and animal health
are inextricably linked and one health is about
how to improve and defend the health and well-
being of all species with the co-operation of
physicians and veterinarians.
• But the One Health concept is NOT just about
zoonoses. It must also take into account issues
such as sustainable development, global trade,
travel, global warming and geo-political
instability.
Public health
12. Livestock production and technology
A veterinarian shall strive for the betterment of animal production through timely
advice/propaganda on scientific management.
It should include:
• Economically viable and hygienic housing.
• Adoption of scientific breeding schedule.
• Disease prevention of routines.
• Reproductive health monitoring, hygienic and systematic care before, at and
following parturition.
• Care of new born.
• Hygienic collection of farm products.
• Proper disposal of animal products and wastes thereof.
• She/he should strive to educate the public and para-veterinary staff personnel
regarding timely insemination and aseptic handling during A.I. and discourage the
unscientific unhygienic insemination.
13.
14. Veterinarians and food regulatory
authorities
• The goal of veterinarian in food regulation is to ensure that the public food
supply is safe from disease caused by food contamination from infected food
animals. Such contamination can occur during all phases of food animal
production, from farm to fork including farming, slaughtering, processing,
packaging, storage, and cooking.
• Efforts to control outbreaks of Zoonotic diseases, such as Anthrax, E. coli,
Brucellosis, Salmonellosis, Trichinosis, Influenza, Tuberculosis, Swine flu,
etc.,
• The veterinarian also interacts with the regulating authorities by sponsoring
programs to prevent and treat such diseases and support the development and
distribution of safe and effective vaccines, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and
drugs against these diseases.
15. • Monitoring food, air, and water-supply pollution.
• Observing food manufacturing and processing for the presence of additives
and contaminants.
• Conducting research on the safety of genetically modified foods.
• Amassing larger food and supply inventories for countries to access in times
of disaster.
• Assisting with the identification of malicious contamination of food for
terrorist purposes.
Veterinarians and food regulatory
authorities
16. Veterinarian as an Educator
• Veterinarians should provide information to their clients,
which benefits more than just their pets.
• They help develop evidence of these health benefits and
present them to our local medical health officers. They
make them aware that they have a greater role in public
health than just rabies control.
• Dog bite prevention tool kits available with veterinarians
are a useful tool to educate school children.
• Contact with other professions in a public health context is
an important first step. They work on strengthening
communication and future collaboration with the medical
community.
• Their education and experience gives them the unique tool
to play an important role in public health and to go beyond
puppies, kittens and bull evaluations.
17. VETERINARY PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
• The practice management in veterinary is not integrated as that of human
medicine.
• Most veterinary doctors work in isolation with that of pharmaceuticals, feed
industry, sophisticated equipment manufacturers, laboratory facilities,
breeders / their association, animal welfare organisations etc.
• The veterinary business world is more complex and competitive and the need
for effective and efficient management is of greater importance than in the
past.
• The concept of “EVERYONE MANAGES” and delegation with
empowerment are becoming more common.
18. Veterinary management can be divided into:
• Information technology
• Human resources
• Finance
• Marketing and sales
• General office management
• Health and safety
• Human resource management

21. WHAT MAKES A GOOD VETERINARY
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
• Confidence
• Assertiveness
• Responsibility
• Standards
• Visibility
• Motivation
• Praise and thanks
• Constructive criticism
• Pride in the job
• Tact, diplomacy, patience and
understanding
• Communication and listening
• Fairness
• Self-awareness
• A sense of humour, and
• Support network
The veterinarian should possess the following qualities to maintain high
standards and to be called as ‘good’:
22. Confidence
The staff and clients expect their veterinarians to take the lead.
Confidence is all about being sure of one’s self and one’s own abilities.
The following stops us from being confident:
• Lack of job knowledge
• Lack of self-belief
• Lack of self –esteem
• Insecurity
• Lack of assertiveness
Good veterinarian has to have a thorough knowledge of their job and the job of
his fellow staff and believe in their own abilities.
23. Assertiveness
A veterinarian needs to be assertive.
Assertiveness may not come naturally but some techniques can be learnt.
Being assertive will enable the veterinarian to-
• Handle confrontation more easily
• Avoid stress
• Be able to say the right thing at the right time
• Have greater self-confidence and self-esteem
• Leave people with a positive impression of them
• Prevent others manipulating them
• Stay in control
Assertiveness is needed for dealing with conflict, when negotiating and when leading
teams and motivating staff.
24. Responsibility
• Responsibility does not end with the
title of a manager. Managing a
veterinarian practice is a big
responsibility.
• They have to carry out their role in the
very best of their ability.
• Avoiding responsibility may be due to
fear or lack of knowledge or even
laziness or sometimes veterinarian feel
imposing rules or discipline may not be
liked by their colleagues.
• When veterinarian takes responsibility
they gain far more respect.
25. Standards
All veterinarians must have high personal standards.
Their actions establish the standards that their staff will be expected to reach.
High standards will be needed in-
• Attitude to the job - always positive and enthusiastic
• Willingness - always doing the extra mile at all times
• Time keeping - always there at least 10 minutes before they are
• due to start work
• Dress - always smart and tidy
• Politeness/manner/mood - always friendly and polite
• Organization - always tidy and organized
• Visibility
26. • The fellow staff must be able to see veterinarians in top level as managers or
administrators in their respective organisations.
• It’s important to visit to all areas on a regular basis, be seen by all staff, talk to
them, ask questions, find out what is happening that day and show an interest
in everything that is going on.
• Having an “open-door policy” will encourage staff to visit their
administration and discuss their problems. This will help to learn what is
really happening and understand the staff feeling.
Standards
27. Motivation
A veterinarian must create an environment in which people do thing because
they want to and not by force.
The starting point for a good motivator is being motivated themselves.
Motivation is infectious.
Veterinarian need to ask themselves the following questions:
• Do I look forward to going to work each day?
• Do I enjoy my job?
• Do I believe in what I am doing?
• Do I show this to my staff?
• Praise and thanks
28. • Motivated staff are more productive, work better together, have more
commitment and motivate each other.
• It is important for veterinary managers to help their staff develop and grow.
• It is important to praise staff if they do a good job and thank them if they do
the extra work.
• But never over do this as too many thanks or praise will become meaningless.
Motivation
29. Constructive criticism
• Veterinarian has to discipline their co-workers and staff for which
constructive criticism is essential.
• The co-workers or staff needs to take up such criticism in a
positive frame of mind.
• They need to help and understand the change situation to improve
standards.
30. Pride in the Job
• Veterinarian need to show pride in their job, practice and pride in their staff.
• They need to instill this pride in all staff members.
All these qualities are needed in abundance, for dealing with partners, staff,
clients, suppliers, media etc.
Tact, diplomacy, patience and understanding
31. Communication and Listening
• A successful manager must have good communication skills and techniques.
• Communication at personal level is also important.
• Listen to what their staff has to say.
• Listening exhibits care and improves relationship building.
32. Fairness
• Veterinarians as managers or administrators must have no ‘favorites’.
• Setting same rules for all and not making exceptions for some staff or clients.
• Once credibility is lost in this area it will be very difficult to re-establish.
o Veterinarians should know their own strengths, weaknesses and
limitations. She/he should not be afraid to seek help if necessary.
o Veterinarian with little experience may also ask other staff to explain an
unknown procedure than to pretend that they understand.
o This will help to earn respect.
Self-awareness
33. A Sense of Humor
• A veterinary manager must have a good sense of humor.
• Becoming stressed or depressed will not help either the manager or the staff.
Support Network
Meeting other colleagues working in similar organization is important.
It helps to know the working pattern and build confidence and motivation.
It also helps to understand the functioning of various organizations, their
management problems and solutions.
34. Conclusion
• Being the fellow residents of this apartment known as “Earth” , it is one of
our duties to maintain a systemic balance between different species be it the
prevention of extinction of one or to reduce the flare up of another .Working
as a connecting link between humans and other species ,a work as big as the
production of a vaccine of a deadly virus to a work as meagre as treating a
common cold becomes our responsibility and to carry out that responsibility
there are certain etiquettes and rules that need to be followed. A sense of value
of life of others and that of yourself is an important factor for a fair, just and
so a healthy society.
