Making the correct diagnosis is the most important part of treating an animal or flock, but this can often be a complicated and difficult task. This book is designed to aid the veterinarian and the veterinary technician in making knowledgeable and well-thought-out decisions for the treatment of animals. All the details about medicines and dosages cannot be remembered, thus everyone needs a reference book to look up important information. The book starts with a section on animal restraint, followed by how to determine dosages and monitor the patient. Then it covers the medicine cabinet and methods of administration. Only then comes the drug formulary, followed by sections on vaccines, control of ectoparasites, tranquilizers and sedatives. This book contains vital information to those administering veterinary drugs.

Specific diseases and parasites usually affect animals within the same species. Relatively few cross over to humans; however when this happens, the outcome can be very serious. These diseases that cross over to humans are called Zoonoses. This book is comprised of a series of articles describing a variety of zoonotic conditions and their prevention. The authors write from experience in a very straightforward and practical manner. This book discusses the most important diseases and parasites of animals that affect human health such as Rabies and Tuberculosis and many others. It discusses one disease and parasite from each category as an example of the prevention and/or control measures that apply to the entire group. This is an excellent book for instructors and students at any level, community leaders and health workers and for those visiting new areas for the first time.

Cattle play important role in animal protein production for two reasons; first, the unique ruminant digestive system utilizes forage for food and secondary, much of the world offers marginal grazing systems on land not suitable for crop production. These feedstuffs would not be utilized were it not for the ruminants.
