Veterinary Treatment of Sheep and Goats

About this book

Sheep and goats are farmed worldwide for meat, milk, skins and wool. This diverse range of uses means that many people rely on these animals as a source of income, food and warm clothing, though they can also be kept as pets. With an accessible structure designed for use in the field, Veterinary Treatment of Sheep and Goats provides a general veterinary guide to treating common conditions in these animals. It addresses veterinary medicines and their uses, on-site surgery, equipment, normal values and vital signs, vaccination, nutrition, dental treatment, poisoning and dermatology. Worldwide disease conditions are also covered in detail, with a particular focus on the welfare of the animal and economic reality. A valuable field guide for the veterinary practitioner, Veterinary Treatment of Sheep and Goats is also essential reading for veterinary students, veterinary practitioners, students, sheep and goat breeders and farmers.
