Dairy Cattle, 3rd Edition - your all-in-one guide to bovine disease
management. Organized by body system for quick, convenient reference,
this complete resource equips practitioners and students with the
knowledge needed to confidently diagnose, treat, and prevent bovine
disease. All chapters are updated from the previous edition to reflect

usage considerations. An entirely new chapter for this third edition
provides easy-to-read, but detailed information on diagnostic laboratory
sample submission so that you will know what tests are available and the
proper samples to submit. Another entirely new chapter focuses on
diseases of the bull. More color photographs and illustrations are

diagnostic procedures commonly used in practice can be visualized. With
expanded coverage of herd diseases, this new edition meets the growing

problems affecting whole herds.
