Présentation de l'éditeur

Written by smallholders for smallholders, this guide gives first hand experience of common problems which, at one time or another, anyone looking after farm animals on a small scale will encounter. It provides clear and concise guidance of both what to look out for and how to take preventative action. It is not in any way intended to replace the vet, but it does recognise that its readers will be in close daily contact with every animal in their care. This alone should enable them to spot early any signs of trouble, and knowing that a particular animal is 'not quite itself' is usually sign enough to merit a closer inspection. Edited by Russell Lyon BVM&S, MRCVS, the chapters cover all the main animals found on a smallholder; pigs, goats, poultry, turkeys, sheep, cattle and bees. An easy to read diagnostic check list for poultry, pigs, goats, cattle and sheep makes early diagnosis, cause, treatment and prevention much easier. Contributors Janice Houghton-Wallace, Carol Harris, Paul Peacock, Jane Upton, Peter King and Felicity Stockwell are all recognised authorities who share a common sense, practical approach to looking after the animals in their care.
