1st Edition
This unique work compiles the latest knowledge around veterinary
nutraceuticals, commonly referred to as dietary supplements, from
ingredients to final products in a single source. More than sixty
chapters organized in seven sections collate all related aspects of
nutraceutical research in animal health and disease, among them many
novel topics: common nutraceutical ingredients (Section-I), prebiotics,
probiotics, synbiotics, enzymes and antibacterial alternatives
(Section-II), applications of nutraceuticals in prevention and treatment
of various diseases such as arthritis, periodontitis, diabetes,
cognitive dysfunctions, mastitis, wounds, immune disorders, and cancer
(Section-III), utilization of nutraceuticals in specific animal species
(Section-IV), safety and toxicity evaluation of nutraceuticals and
functional foods (Section-V), recent trends in nutraceutical research
and product development (Section-VI), as well as regulatory aspects for
nutraceuticals (Section-VII). The future of nutraceuticals and
functional foods in veterinary medicine seems bright, as novel
nutraceuticals will emerge and new uses of old agents will be
discovered.
International contributors to this book cover a
variety of specialties in veterinary medicine, pharmacology,
pharmacognosy, toxicology, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry,
physiology, nutrition, drug development, regulatory frameworks, and the
nutraceutical industry. This is a highly informative and carefully
presented book, providing scientific insight for academia,
veterinarians, governmental and regulatory agencies with an interest in
animal nutrition, complementary veterinary medicine, nutraceutical
product development and research.
