Manual of Sheep Diseases

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.
