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.

An established favourite with veterinary and agricultural students and a valuable addition to the library of any veterinarian or sheep farmer, this handbook covers the basics of sheep medicine and production. Geared at being an easily accessed reference, it clearly conveys fundamental information on the care and treatment of sheep worldwide. This fully updated and revised eighth edition: - continues to cover all important aspects of sheep production and health, including reproduction, vaccination, pregnancy and newborns, lameness, internal and external parasites and flock health promotion; - reviews general developments and advancements in sheep veterinary medicine, as well as disease prevalence by geographical spread and in relation to changing climate; - considers topics of increasing importance such as vaccine availability and drug resistance. An emphasis on diagnosis and treatment combined with short, easily-digestible chapters and step-by-step diagrams makes this book an essential practical guide to recognizing, treating and preventing disease.
