Synopsis

An in-depth and authoritative exploration of the urgent need for standardization of veterinary tetanus antitoxin production in the United States. Carefully researched and drawing on the author's extensive expertise in the field, this book reviews the history and scientific principles of tetanus and tetanus antitoxin. The author also presents the results of an eye-opening investigation into the startling variation in potency of veterinary tetanus antitoxin products on the market, conducted in accordance with the 1909 US Department of Agriculture appropriations act. The findings underscore the need for federal oversight, proposing a standard potency and uniform labeling system to ensure veterinarians can rely on the efficacy of tetanus antitoxin in protecting horses and other animals from this deadly disease. This book will be an invaluable resource for veterinarians, animal health professionals, and policymakers concerned with animal welfare.
