Review
This book was written for those working with livestock in countries where veterinarians and livestock officers are not readily accessible. It provides information for those who keep animals and for those who help, advise or teach others who keep animals... The basic English and clear, simple illustrations used throughout the book are its major strengths.... the illustrations can be easily reproduced for inclusion in training material....there is little doubt that (this book) will become an essential handbook for many working in the field with livestock in developing countries.": Development Bulletin
