Equine Stud Farm Medicine and Surgery By Derek C. Knottenbelt , Reg R. Pascoe , Michelle LeBlanc , Cheryl Lopate
Equine Stud Farm Medicine and Surgery is a practical, hands-on guide to all aspects of equine reproduction and breeding. Introductory chapters review the key aspects of stud farm design and equine nutrition as they effect the health of horses and foals, and are followed by detailed chapterson the stallion, mare, conception, parturition and the health of the foal.
Both medicine and surgery is covered in detail, and Equine Stud Farm Medicine and Surgery is full of colour and black and white illustrations to assist the veterinarian with the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions relevant to equine reproduction.
It is essential to have a sound, scientific foundation for making decisions and this book provides as many answers as a textbook can. I recommend it wholeheartedly for anyone concerned with equine reproduction.The book benefits from good design: information is conveyed economically and clearly using bullet points and boxes backed up by luciddiagrams and excellent photographs.The work on the placenta, its physiology, pathology and the problems of retained foetal membranes is extremely helpful, the combination of text, diagrams and photographs explains the whole process from cellular level to the clinical presentation.
