Infos

This revised and updated version of Outline of Clinical
Diagnosis in Sheep now covers the whole field of diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of diseases and poor production of sheep.
It is aimed at the non-specialist veterinarian and fills a niche
between the large, comprehensive books on sheep and the shorter
texts aimed at farmers. It will also appeal to all those involved
in sheep production, and is a valuable reference for veterinary
students.

A wide range of diseases and conditions is covered, together
with important aspects of production such as lamb output and growth
rates. New sections have been added on nutrition (which has a
significant effect on all aspects of production), anaesthesia,
vaccination programmes, and parasite control.

Rezensionen

"Busy veterinary surgeons in general practice will find [this
publication] a veritable fund of useful information...recent
graduates will have ready access to reliable advice ...and final
year students will find it an invaluable source of readily
assimilable information on sheep medicine...This publication
is indeed a manual of sheep diseases and will be a most valuable
addition to the general practitioner's library"

The Veterinary Record

"This book is far better than the first, both in style and in
content. There are longer, more comprehensive books, and there are
certainly more expensive books, but there are none that provide
such essential information for the sheep practitioner in such a
concise and easy-to-use format. If you want help with a diagnosis,
this book should be the first one to pick up.
