This practical manual guides the reader through body systems that are commonly influenced by the microbiota in the microbiomes as well as accompanying dietary recommendations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, an overview of the body’s microbiome including common terminology and functions of microbiomes precede the chapters on development of the body’s microbiomes and factors influencing their diversity and density. The following three sections provide readers with a different perspective of commonly observed health conditions by focusing on the state of the microbiome and how the condition may be prevented and\/or treated with the use of nutrients.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by a highly qualified author with significant experience in the field, \u003ci\u003eSmall Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition\u003c\/i\u003e includes information on sample topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResults of research on alternative diets and emerging ingredients’ effect on the microbiomes and how to have the discussions with pet parents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNutrition focused calculations, feeding directions, and templates for history, and recommendation for follow-up conversations with pet parents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFactors affecting the diversity and density of the microbiomes, such as genetics, age, sex, environment, stress, antibiotic therapy, and nutrition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegumentary microbiomes, covering the skin’s microbiome, dysfunctional barrier syndrome, atopy (atopic dermatitis), and key nutritional factors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall Animal Microbiomes and Nutrition\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for students completing companion animal health courses in two- and four-year programs, particularly those in veterinary technology, veterinary technician, and animal health technology diplomas and degrees, and it is also highly useful for students in other veterinary and animal science focused programs.
