Summary

Vaccines in Agriculture: Immunological Applications to Animal Health and Production is the first publication to examine the use of vaccine technology through the complete animal production cycle from reproduction to growth and health of animals. The chapters presented in this book not only highlight new insight into immunology and its applications related to animal health, animal production and environmental safety but also include features that relate to the commercialisation of research through national and international industry. Aspects of the European Community marketing and registration policy compared with that of other countries are discussed.
This book includes a report of group discussions that formulated conclusions and identified priority areas for further research and development. Readers of this book will appreciate both the scope of subjects and the scientific rigour with which they are tackled.
