======================================================= STURKIE'S AVIAN PHYSIOLOGY, 7TH EDITION Professional Veterinary E-Book ======================================================= BOOK INFORMATION ---------------- Title: Sturkie's Avian Physiology, 7th Edition Format: PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Avian and Exotic Animal Medicine Specialty: Avian Physiology and Medicine DESCRIPTION ----------- Sturkie's Avian Physiology stands as the definitive reference text in avian physiological sciences, providing comprehensive coverage of the unique anatomical and functional systems of birds. This seventh edition continues the legacy established by Dr. P.D. Sturkie over six decades ago, offering updated research findings, contemporary methodologies, and expanded coverage of avian species ranging from commercial poultry to exotic and wild birds. The text integrates classical physiological principles with cutting-edge molecular and cellular biology, making it an indispensable resource for understanding the complex biological systems that distinguish avian species from mammals. This extensively revised edition features contributions from leading international experts in avian biology and veterinary medicine, ensuring authoritative coverage across all major physiological systems. The book addresses critical topics including cardiovascular function, respiratory mechanics, thermoregulation, reproductive physiology, endocrinology, immunology, and neurophysiology specific to avian species. Each chapter provides detailed explanations of physiological mechanisms, comparative analyses with mammalian systems, and clinical applications relevant to both research and veterinary practice. With its rigorous scientific approach and practical clinical insights, this edition serves as both a comprehensive textbook for advanced study and an essential reference for professionals working with avian species. The content bridges fundamental research and applied veterinary medicine, offering valuable information for disease diagnosis, treatment protocols, nutritional management, and welfare assessment in domestic, commercial, and wild bird populations.
