Veterinary Toxicology informs the readers about the various concepts related to the veterinary field and the ones related to the field of neurotoxicity. The book also explains the subjects such as veterinary immunotoxicity and the radiations in the radioactive materials that affect veterinary. This book also discusses about pesticides, insecticides, rodenticides and herbicides in the veterinary toxicity, the environmental toxicology, the field of therapeutics and the toxicology of diagnostics and genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on the immune cells. It also provides the basic insights on the toxicology of veterinary and the information on the toxicology related to it so that the readers get a deep understanding of the subject.
