Publisher's Synopsis
Knowing how to look after a horse means performing essential gestures efficiently and calmly, without risking an accident. A seemingly trivial gesture can have far-reaching consequences, both in terms of its effectiveness and the risks involved. On the other hand, among all threatened species, primates occupy a prominent place, with the majority of species in this order considered to be in danger of extinction. Thus, keeping primate specimens in captivity in zoos is justified, among other reasons, by the importance of their preservation. The particularly advanced abilities of primates, and their close proximity to man, make their maintenance in captivity even more delicate than that of other wild species, and the environment in which they evolve has a predominant impact on their quality of life and well-being, as well as on their reproduction, which is obviously essential for their preservation. Wounds are also very common in veterinary medicine. The veterinarian must adapt his therapeutic attitude according to the nature of the wound, its contamination and the extent of the loss of substance.
