Description
Much more detail is provided than one would suspect from a guide for farmers, for it is more a textbook on cattle keeping, having developed considerably since the second edition of 1988. For example, there are details of how to construct a field road that can reduce the incidence of lameness in cows. There are chapters on: the young calf; the weaned calf; rearing dairy heifers; the cow at calving; metabolic disorders; mastitis; fertility; lameness; diseases of the skin; notifiable diseases; nutrition; miscellaneous disorders; routine tasks and dealing with poisons. It is also available on CD-ROM
