Involvement with equine reproduction is very common for the veterinarian
in practice, and there is enormous demand for continuing education,
particularly in the light of recent changes in science and practice,
such as the routine use of ultrasound, improved standards of foal
care, and the importance of artificial insemination.
The 22 contributing authors, an international blend of specialist
equine practitioners and university clinicians, provide by means of
superbly illustrated questions and full explanatory answers, a comprehensive,
up-to-date, enjoyable and easily read source of information on equine
reproduction. Over 30 cases concern the use of ultrasound in the management
of the broodmare, some 50 cases cover foal care and common medical
/surgical conditions, and there are over 30 cases on the stallion
and artificial insemination, plus rarer conditions such as dystocia
and foaling trauma.
The random order of the cases and the self-assessment format, enable
readers to think fully about a problem and devise a solution, just
as they would in their daily work. The book will appeal equally to
veterinarians in training, in practice and in preparation for higher
qualifications. |
