The book appeals to professionals in practice and in universities, and to veterinary students.
Editorial Reviews
Review
…aimed at final-year veterinary students and new graduates, but would equally be appreciated by practitioners wishing to rev up their knowledge of farm animal medicine… a gem of a book for revision and to reinforce learning – and it is small enough to be popped in a bag or kept in the glove compartment of a car. ―Jennifer L. Hall, Veterinary Record, March 2011
The cases offer a wide spectrum of problems… The cattle [and] sheep cases are equally varied… Cattle and sheep medicine… is appropriate for self-review in preparation for a viva voce-type examination for undergraduate veterinary students, or veterinary graduates seeking postgraduate recognition, and it could well be of assistance to examiners of those same candidates. ―R P Knight, Australian Veterinary Journal, June 2011
There are a number of books that address ruminant health, but they do not have images or the clinical practicality of this book. This is a very useable book for students or entry level practitioners to gain an understanding of common ruminant diseases and their appearance. (3 stars) ―Dennis French, DVM, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, Doody’s Review Service
