Synopsis

Scientific research involves proper setting up of plan of work to suit the objectives of the experiment. Selection of experimental ubjects (animals), design of experiment on which the research data is collected, analyses and interpretation of the data so obtained have to be scientific and as per norms so that the results will not only be acceptable but also will be repeatable with known "Confidence". Veterinary and Animal Science research workers may not have a background of Mathematics that is required to understand intricate details of statistics; especially as far as derivations of the formulae and understanding statistical notations etc. are concerned.
This is further compounded by the fact that most of the books discuss examples from field other than Veterinary and animal Science. Ready to use computer software for statistical analyses of the data have only complicated the matter further; the results of te research work are obtained "mechanically" and the veterinary and animal science workers can hardly "feel" the data and, consequently, the results. The Author is of the firm opinion that there is a no substitute for actural analyses of data on a scientific calculator. Therefore, examples exclusively on Veterinary and Animals Science fields with calculations done only on scientific calculator (with statistics mode) are the unique features of the book. Further, some of the statistical procedures are employed more frequently in some of the veterinary science fields. Hence, they are separately dealt in chapter "Statistics in Scientific Veterinary fields". In view of the above, this book helps Veterinary and Animal Science workers to plan, design, analyze and interpret data with more confidence.

Dr. P V Sreenivasiah, born 28th Fed, 1955, curently working as professor and Head, Department of Avian production and management, Raiv Gandhi College of Veterinary and animal science, pondicherry, graduated from veterinary college, UAS, Bangalore, during 1975. He obtained his master's degree (at IVARI, during 1977) and Ph.D (from APAU, Hyderabad during 1985) with I rank in both with ICAR Fellowship specializing in Poultry science.
Dr. P V Sreenivasaiah is known to have a speical aptitude towards Mathematics, in general, and statistics, in particular. He has helped many master's and Dosctorate students in various fields of Veterinary science analyze nad interpret their research data. It has been a long cherished dream come true for him to have authored a book on veterinary Biostatics.
This book is unique being a Biostaistics book written by a veterinarian with examples exclusive from different fields of Veterinary and animals sciences and is expected to serve as a ready reference for UG students as well as all Reserach personnel, in Biological Sciences, in general, and those in the fields of Veterinary and Animal Science, in particular. Dr. P V Sreenivasaiah is also the author of the popular textbook "Scientific Poultry Production" whose II revised and enlarged Edition was publised by us during 2006.
