Cattle Medicine

...good quality photographs...descriptions of most of the conditions are applicable over a much wider geographic area [than the UK alone]. The descriptions of the diseases and their treatment...provide a good summary of each condition...could be a useful text for undergraduate veterinary students interested in cattle practice and for veterinarians in cattle practice as a source of summary information over a wide range of conditions. It could serve as a reference text that could readily be carried in a practice vehicle and the succinct nature of the text, as well as the supporting photographs, could provide the basic information that is often required in the practice situation.—Jakob Malmo, Australian Veterinary Journal, April 2012...gives a succinct summary of the diseases of cattle encountered by farm animal practitioners...a practical manual...provides the necessary background information and then guides the reader in a clear, uncomplicated manner on how to manage the diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases... concise but detailed...provides everything required for routine farm animal practice and is a handy guide...large number of good-quality, informative photographs...especially helpful in explaining the diseases in their wider context...particularly appealing to veterinary undergraduate students...for practitioners not seeing cattle on a regular basis, this would be a handy reference for the practice library—Charlotte R. Bell, Veterinary Record, October 2012
