The TV Vet Sheep Book. Recognition and Treatment of Common Sheep Ailments

Great Britain: Farming Press, 1986. 5th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. SS1-12 Hardback. Couple of small marks to back inside cover. Foreword by Dr. J. A. Watt. The format of illustrations and readable text should appeal in particular to stock-owners and students, while avoiding the pitfall of producing 'do it yourself' experts. The importance of the sheep in agriclutre tends to be underestimated, but in some areas in Britain they are of major and increasing importance in the livestock industry. There can be few species in which so much attention has been directed towards the conception of flock protection and health, as opposed to conditions in the imdividual animal, and this welath of epidemiological information has of itself generated the problem of dissemination and application of this knowledge. It has long been recognised that this education field, i.e. the application of results of research on the farms, is a difficult one, and for this reason material presented as a readable and practical reference work performs a valuable function. This book, then fills an important gap in the series so ably presented by the author, and its unique form of presentation will result in the dissemination of information in many quarters where the stereotyped text-book has little appeal. Illustrated. Illustrated laminated boards. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
