Content:
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, this book 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, sheep and goat farmers and breeders, and for veterinary students. This book has 344 pages with 20 chapters whose topics are as follows (from chapter 1-20): breeds; behaviour and restraint; vital signs and sample taking; simple diagnostic tests; veterinary equipment; veterinary medicines; vaccines; sedation; anaesthesia; surgical conditions and euthanasia; nutrition and metabolic conditions; gastroenteric system; respiratory and circulatory system; urinary system; reproductive system; neurological system; locomotory system; skin conditions; poisons; sudden death and post-mortem techniques; zoonotic diseases; and herd and flock health plans.
