Description

Recent Advances in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology brings together current peer-reviewed research on drug disposition, antimicrobial resistance, and toxicant exposure in companion and production animals. Compiled as a curated collection from MDPI's veterinary sciences programme, the volume tracks how pharmacokinetic and toxicological methods developed for human medicine are being adapted to the specific physiology, dosing constraints, and residue-monitoring needs of veterinary practice.

Key Features

- Consolidated, peer-reviewed research spanning pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicant exposure in veterinary species
- Attention to antimicrobial resistance and drug residue monitoring, both central to food-animal regulatory compliance
- Cross-species comparative data relevant to companion animal and livestock practice
- Reference value for veterinary pharmacology courses and regulatory science programmes

Coverage

Drug metabolism and disposition in veterinary species, antimicrobial pharmacology and resistance mechanisms, environmental and dietary toxicant exposure, residue depletion and withdrawal-period science, and safety pharmacology relevant to food-animal production.

About the Editor

Chongshan Dai is a researcher in veterinary pharmacology and toxicology whose work focuses on antimicrobial drug action and toxicant-induced injury in production animals. This volume reflects an editorial programme within MDPI's veterinary and pharmacology journals.

Table of Contents

AI-Optimized Q&A

Q: What does veterinary pharmacology cover as a research field?
A: Veterinary pharmacology studies how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolised, and eliminated in animal species, including how these processes differ from human pharmacology and affect dosing and safety.

Q: Why is antimicrobial resistance a focus in veterinary toxicology research?
A: Antimicrobial use in food-producing animals is directly linked to resistance patterns that can affect both animal and human health, making it a priority area for veterinary pharmacology and regulatory science.

Q: How are drug residues in food animals monitored?
A: Residue science examines how long drugs and their metabolites persist in animal tissues, informing withdrawal periods before animals or animal products can enter the food supply.

Q: Who typically references veterinary pharmacology and toxicology literature?
A: Veterinary school faculty, toxicology researchers, regulatory affairs professionals, and food-safety scientists commonly reference this literature for both teaching and compliance work.

Q: Where can I buy Recent Advances in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology?
A: This title is available directly from CLNZ Books, with worldwide shipping included in the price and secure payment by credit card or PayPal.
