About this book

A complete guide to the anatomy and physiology of farm animals, fully updated and revised

In the newly revised ninth edition of Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals, distinguished veterinary professors Drs. Anna Fails and Christianne Magee deliver a comprehensive guide for animal science, veterinary technician, and pre-veterinary students and instructors seeking a well-organized and easy-to-understand resource. The new edition offers modified and refined learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, as well as a brand-new chapter on llamas/alpacas that highlights the significant species differences and explains the roles of these species in the wool and packing industries.

Additional illustrations enhance comprehension and improve the anatomy sections of the book. New "Study Prompts," integrative application questions, are included in each chapter in differently colored text and stimulate understanding of the material. Finally, a reorganized companion website is included with the book. It integrates fully with the print text and provides supplemental content, including word roots, clinical cases, study and practice questions, and additional images, diagrams, and videos.

Readers will also find:

  • An excellent anatomy and physiology resource for high school and undergraduate students in animal science, veterinary medicine, and zoology programs
  • Comprehensive explorations of the anatomy and physiology of the cell
  • Practical discussions of embryology, the skeletal system, and microscopic anatomy
  • Complete discussion of the physiology of muscle and the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system

A valuable comprehensive resource for advanced high school and undergraduate animal science students in agriculture, pre-veterinary, and veterinary technical program, Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals will also benefit people practicing in allied professions and veterinary practitioners.
