Description
Sheep Veterinary Practice is the ideal reference for veterinarians in farm animal practice, veterinary and animal science students, agriculturalists, and sheep producers. While addressing sheep health, welfare, and production matters in Australia, this book covers issues of relevance in any country where sheep are raised.
Sheep veterinary specialist Professor Kym Abbott and his co-authors inform the reader of the science underpinning the occurrence of disease syndromes, giving special attention to commonly investigated problems related to nutrition, reproduction, and helminthiasis. Other disease conditions of sheep are discussed in subsequent chapters; first on the basis of presenting signs in the case of lameness and sudden death—conditions in which signs can be attributed to disorders of a variety of body systems—and then on a body-systems basis. Following on from Professor Abbott's The Practice of Sheep Veterinary Medicine, a review of the systems and strategies available to improve the welfare of sheep in extensive farming systems is included, as well as discussion of pain relief, analgesia, and anaesthesia for sheep.
The text is illustrated with over 150 images and photographs, the majority in full colour.
