ABSTRACT

The major objective of this book is to describe, with the aid of a large number of high-quality images, the important diseases of cattle encountered by veterinary surgeons in general practice and their diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and control. Wherever possible, the sequential images take the reader through all stages of the disease process, highlighting clinical features important in the diagnosis. The book is specifically aimed at fulfilling the need for a practical, concise text that will be of use to veterinary undergraduate students in their clinical years and later in farm practice. The book is not intended to be a fully referenced text covering bovine medicine in detail, as there are already such texts available.
