With each presented as a case study, the book uses a question and answer format to enable students to recognize the key features of each disease, identify the problem and suggest a course of action. Fully illustrated throughout with color photos, this is an invaluable learning tool for veterinary, animal science and agricultural students, as well as a useful resource for veterinarians.
