Few clues for visitors. References. Appendix. "This book is the outcome of my decade long studies on the Valley of Flowers. The ethereal and beautiful Valley of Flowers was notified as a National Park in 1982, and since then it has been caught in a strange controversy. The point of contention is that the conservation attempt is proving to be the problem rather than the solution. For the past two decades, there have been occasional reports about weeds choking the plant diversity of the region, but none of them is based on an in-depth ecological study, and it appears that most of them are merely on the basis of speculations. The present work is an attempt to compile the existing literature as well as first-hand information on the floral and faunal diversity, phenology, the valley's beautiful landscape, tourism, status of medicinal plants, structure of forest, and status of wildlife. The grazing controversy and conservation dilemma that is mainly based on speculative arguments, has also been addressed, with realistic data collected from the valley by the author. Besides, a comparative study on the status of medicinal plants across the various pressure zones (heavily grazed to protected areas), and the change in forest cover and composition due to historical use pattern, are also addressed in the book.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. This is the first ever such atlas to be produced for Indian farmers and poultry professinals. Its objective is to provide a handy tool to farmers for on the spot diagnosis of disseases, under field conditions. Although a large number of large number of laboratory tests, some sophisticated like ELISA and PCR, have been developed for the diagnosis of poultry diseases, they are either not available or are beyond the reach of most farmers. Morevoer, by the time birds reach laboratory, they are mostly decomposed and unfit for postmortem examination and disease diagnosis. The delay in diagnosis allows the disease to inflict mortality and ruin farmer's economy. The key to disease control then is on the spot diagnosis. It is with this objective that the colour atlas has been produced to make readily available to pourtry farmers a handy tool for immediate and accurate disease diagnosis under field conditions. A large number of poultry diseases, including the more deadly like Ranikhet and Gumboro, leave their footprints in the dead bird. From these characteristic postmortem findings, it is possible to arrive at a correct diagnosis. The altas provides 150 coloured photographs and covers wide spectrum of poultry diseases. For important diseases, several photographs are given so that at no stage their diagnosis is missed. Also, whereever considered appropriate, pictures of live birds showing symptoms of specific diseases are given. In addition, each disease is accompanied by a brief description that highlights its salient features and also records author's field obsrvations. As this book is intended excusively for disease diagnosis, it should be read alongside authors another book "Poultry diseases- A guide for farmers & poultry professionals (2004) by J.Y. Vegad" to obtain information on other aspects of poultry diseases, namely, cause, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and control. Although the book is written to meet requirements of poutry farmers, it will be equally useful to poultry consultants, diagnostic laboratories, and will acquaint the veterinary students with poultry diseases under field conditions.…
