“Jibachha’sTextbookofIntroductoryAnimalWelfareandJurisprudence”,
is edited by Dr. Jibachha Sah (M.V.Sc.), Dr. Prabhakar Kumar Shah (M.V.Sc.
Vet. Med.), and Dr. Jyoti Kumari Sah (B.V.Sc. & A.H.), M.Sc. Scholar, with
sales of their previous 45 books.
This book is designed for SEE, Grade XI, and diploma-level CTEVT
students of veterinary science. The content of this book is based on the
CTEVT syllabus in Jibachha’s Textbook of Introductory Animal Welfare
and Jurisprudence. This book includes all the theory topics: introduction and
importance of animal welfare in domestic farming, applying animal welfare to
farming practices, animal welfare management, Society and animal welfare,
livestock services and institutions in Nepal, National visions and policies
of the livestock sector, laws and regulations related to veterinary services,
directives and guidelines for the livestock sector of Nepal, and introductions to
commonly used livestock systems in Nepal.
In the series of our 45 books on the veterinary clinical field, this book
is purely a syllabus-based book that is written with authentic textbooks
and references. This book is designed especially for veterinary students of
technical education in an easy, concise, understandable manner and with a
quick reference.
The authors’ extensive experience in publishing veterinary books
for students and coordinating animal health was heavily weighted in the
preparation of this course book; a serious student will thus find the book user-
friendly and easy to read and understand. We strongly believe that “Jibachha’s
Textbook of Introductory Animal Welfare and Jurisprudence” adequately
meets the needs of veterinary students and teachers.
