Sheep Veterinary Practice připravuje se
Hodnotu této knihy nelze přeceňovat. Pro studenty veterinární medicíny před mnoha lety neexistovaly žádné ucelené učebnice o medicíně ovcí . Autor měl štěstí, že jeho inspirativním lektorem byl profesor Abbott. Tuto knihu studenti potřebují!“ V návaznosti na jeho první knihu, Sheep Veterinary Practice zůstává ideální referencí pro veterináře v praxi hospodářských zvířat, studenty veterinární medicíny, zemědělce a chovatele ovcí. Zabývá se především zdravím, welfare a produkcí ovcí v Austrálii. Zabývá se problémy a klinickou praxi relevantní v mnoha zemích světa, kde se ovce chovají. Autor informuje čtenáře o poznatcích, která stojí za výskytem chorobných syndromů, a věnuje zvláštní pozornost běžně zkoumaným problémům souvisejícím s výživou, reprodukcí a parazitárními chorobami. Další chorobné stavy ovcí jsou diskutovány v následujících kapitolách; nejprve na základě příznaků v případě kulhání a náhlé smrti. Dále stavů, kdy příznaky lze připsat poruchám různých orgánových systémů. Toto nové vydání důkladně reviduje a rozšiřuje předchozí text, přidává přehled systémů a strategií dostupných pro zlepšení welfare ovcí v systémech extenzivního chovu, kapitolu o managementu bolesti, analgezii a anestezii ovcí a kapitolu o parazitárních onemocněních.
Text je ilustrován více než 150 plnobarevnými obrázky a fotografiemi.

The value of this book cannot be overstated. As a student, many years ago, there were no comprehensive textbooks on sheep medicine, so I was lucky to have Professor Abbott as an inspiring lecturer. This book is needed by students!” Following on from his first book, Sheep Veterinary Practice remains the ideal reference for veterinarians in farm animal practice, veterinary and animal science students, agriculturalists, and sheep producers. Principally addressing sheep health, welfare, and production matters in Australia, it covers issues and clinical practice of relevance in many countries of the world where sheep are raised. Sheep veterinary specialist Professor Kym Abbott informs the reader of the science underpinning the occurrence of disease syndromes, giving special attention to commonly investigated problems related to nutrition, reproduction, and helminth diseases. Other disease conditions of sheep are discussed in subsequent chapters; first on the basis of presenting signs in the case of lameness and sudden death – conditions in which signs can be attributed to disorders of a variety of body systems – and then on a body-systems basis. This new edition thoroughly revises and expands on the previous text, adding a review of the systems and strategies available to improve the welfare of sheep in extensive farming systems, a chapter on pain relief, analgesia and anaesthesia for sheep, and a chapter on metacestodes.
The text is illustrated with more than 150 full-colour images and photographs.
