Following on from Professor Abbott's The Practice of Sheep Veterinary Medicine, this new text remains the ideal reference for veterinarians in farm animal practice, veterinary and animal science students, agriculturalists and sheep producers. Principally addressing sheep health, welfare and production matters in Australia, this book also 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. A review of the systems and strategies available to improve the welfare of sheep in extensive farming systems in included, as well as a chapter on pain relief, analgesia and anaesthesia for sheep, and a chapter on metacestodes.
The text is illustrated with over 150 images and photographs, the majority in full-colour.
