Sheep Flock Health

A Planned Approach

About this book

Sheep Flock Health: a planned approach is a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of production limiting diseases in sheep. The problem-based approach helps both farmers and veterinary practitioners identify health problems. The focus is on good management practices to prevent disease in the first place and to optimise production.

  • Focuses on the achievement and maintenance of optimal productivity, rather than on a catalogue of individual diseases of sheep.
  • Written by an expert with a strong international reputation.
  • Suitable not only for veterinarians and veterinary students, but also progressive sheep farmers.
