This amazing manual, covering health and disease conditions for all the major domestic animals in one volume, is written in a simple, easy to understand style, supplemented with many good illustrations. It was developed to benefit rural people in many areas of the world where livestock play an important role in village life and where there is no veterinarian available. It deals with many different animal health related topics, including disease prevention, recognition, control, and treatment, and the promotion of good animal nutrition. It is hoped that people who use this book will be able to realize which disease conditions they can handle on their own and when to call for help from more experienced animal health workers.
