The principles behind such common problems as mastitis, infertility and lameness are explained in detail and linked to effective control programmes. The same approach is taken towards a full range of potential cattle disorders, broadly grouped according to age and development of the animal from the young calf to the adult. Already the standard text for a wide range of college course throughout the world, the considerable increase in detail makes this full colour and updated third edition an essential tool in the daily fight to keep intensely managed stock in first-class condition and to optimise productivity. For the farmer, it is an invaluable tool in dealing with the sick animal.
