Features: Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), also known as the traditional veterinary medicine of our country, has a long history, rich experience, and is an important part of our nation's valuable scientific and cultural heritage. Through long-term clinical application, it has gradually formed a unique theoretical system guided by the holistic concept, centered on the theory of zang-fu and meridians, and using the theory of yin-yang and the five elements as explanatory tools. Characterized by syndrome differentiation and treatment, this system has undergone excavation, organization, summarization, verification, and improvement since the liberation. It has now entered the stage of in-depth research, with its research content and methods undergoing revolutionary changes. Especially with the application of modern molecular biology research methods in TCVM, its advantages have become more prominent. There is a new trend of using effective research methods and results to regulate the growth and development of livestock and poultry, as well as to prevent, control, and reduce the occurrence of diseases and syndromes, in order to meet the needs of modern animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. The authors of this book have a novel concept, appropriate level of detail, and possess the completeness, practicality, scientificity, systematicity, accuracy, and modernity of a book. The book is divided into six major parts: Basic Theory, Foundations of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Formulas, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and Prevention and Treatment of Common Diseases and Syndromes in Livestock and Poultry. Especially the comparison of commonly used drugs, the rhymes for formulas, dosage, modifications, and modern applications, as well as the analysis of case studies, make this book an effective shortcut for practicing TCVM.
