The new addition of the Goatkeeper's Veterinary Book

THE Goatkeeper's Veterinary Book, which has served as the standard reference work for a full generation of goatkeepers is now available in a new edition.

Practical and easy to use with an emphasis on preventive care, the book covers the principles of health and management, problems of kids, diseases of housed goats, problems associated with feeding, grazing, breeding, pregnancy and birth, disorders of milking goats, other conditions, accidents, emergencies and poisoning.

The author has completely revised his book for the fourth edition, paying particular attention to recent developments in our understanding of gut worm resistance to medicines, the increased prevalence of Caseous lymphadenitis and changes to scrapie controls in the EU. Topics such as farm biosecurity and herd health plans have been added and the section on notifiable diseases expanded to make this a more comprehensive book on all aspects of goat disease. He also includes many new colour photographs (for the first time integrated with the text).

Author Peter Dunn MRCVS has great experience in dealing with goats and for the last 15 years has run a commercial goat herd in France in partnership with his wife.

£17.95, hardback book, 300 pages with 126 illustrations, ISBN 978-1-903366-91-2.
