This paper aims to (re)ignite debate about the role of narrative in medical humanities. It begins with a critical review ways which has been mobilised by humanities and social science scholars understand experience health illness. I highlight seven dangers or blind spots dominant approach narrative, including frequently unexamined assumption that all human beings are ‘naturally narrative’. then explore this further through an analysis philosopher Galen Strawson9s influential article ‘Against...
In many parts of the world, livestock production is undergoing a process rapid intensification. The health implications this development are uncertain. Intensification creates cheaper products, allowing more people to access animal-based foods. However, some practices associated with intensification may contribute zoonotic disease emergence and spread: for example, sustained use antibiotics, concentration animals in confined units, long distances frequent movement livestock.Here we present...
This article uses a study of pig production in Britain, c.1910-65, to rethink the history modern agriculture and its implications for human-animal relationships. Drawing on literature written by producers experts, it challenges existing portrayals unidirectional, post-Second World War shift from traditional small-scale mixed farming large, specialized, intensive systems. Rather, 'factory-style' was already established Britain 1930s, fortunes waxed waned over time relation different kinds...
The diseases suffered by British livestock, and the ways in which they were perceived managed farmers, vets state, changed considerably over course of twentieth century. This paper documents analyses these changes relation to development public policy. It reveals that scientific knowledge disease demographics cannot themselves explain shifting boundaries state responsibility for animal health, targeted preferred modes intervention. Policies shaped also concerns food security public's...
In another of Veterinary Record 's series articles on One Health, Abigail Woods and Michael Bresalier discuss the complex history veterinary‐medical collaboration highlight social, political institutional factors that have contributed towards shaping Health model
Little is known, historically, about the perceived and actual importance of disease prevention within general medical veterinary practice, its constituent attitudes, practices politics, relationship to cure. This paper addresses these issues through a study preventive medicine. It focuses on post-war attempts by leading British vets reorient practice around more approach livestock disease. I examine vets' motivations, their definition medicine, perceptions benefits preferred delivery...
Abstract This paper introduces simulation-based re-enactment (SBR) as a novel method of documenting and studying the recent history surgical practice. SBR aims to capture ways working that remain within living memory but have been superseded due technical advances changes in patterns. Inspired by broader efforts historical use simulation education, seeks overcome some weaknesses associated with text-based, surgeon-centred approaches surgery. The describes how we applied previously common...
INTRODUCTIONUsing veterinary surgeons as a case study, this paper aims to develop new perspective on scientific expertise within late nineteenth and early twentienth century British government. The importance of such - which was defined, by the 1880s, special skill or knowledge,' is widely recognised historians. First appointed inspectors under reforming mid-nineteenth legislation in public health, animal fisheries, factories, railways mines, government experts grew more numerous over time...
This article offers a novel perspective on the evolving identities and relationships of human medicine veterinary in England during decades that followed 1791 foundation London Veterinary College. Contrary to impressions conveyed by both medical historians, it reveals medicine, as initially defined, taught studied at college, was not domain apart from but rather continuous with it. It then shows how this social, cultural, epistemological continuity fractured over period 1815 1835. Under...
Abstract It is widely assumed that the development of antibiotics had a transformative effect on livestock production by making it possible to keep larger numbers animals in smaller spaces without them succumbing disease. Using health and UK pigs, ca. 1925-65, as case study, this article argues their impact has been overstated. draws evidence from veterinary journals, farming magazines, government-appointed committees demonstrate significance other methods countering diseases emerged...
British agricultural officials, veterinarians, and livestock owners currently regard foot mouth disease (FMD) as one of the world’s worst animal plagues, a highly contagious extremely costly that is only amenable to control by wide‐ranging stringent legislative measures. However, for many years after its first appearance in 1839, commentators dismissed FMD mild unpreventable ailment, introduction extension controls wake 1865–7 cattle plague epidemic proved controversial. was not generally...

Abstract This paper argues for the need to create a more animal-centred history of medicine, in which animals are considered not simply as backdrop human history, but medical subjects important and themselves. Drawing on tools approaches animal human–animal studies, it seeks demonstrate, via four short historical vignettes, how investigations into ways that shaped were by medicine enables us reach new understandings both relationships between them. is achieved turning away from much-studied...
Ractopamine (RAC) is a feed ingredient for use in finishing pigs that increases pork carcass muscle protein and improves production efficiency. A mathematical analysis of the environmental effects increased rate gain, improved efficiency, leanness was conducted, analysis, it assumed RAC implemented all pig diets United States at 5 or 10 mg/kg diet, while producing same amount currently being produced. The average responses to fed last 28 d before market included 5.3 5.9% increase percentage,...
