"This great text book of almost 1,400 pages is still the gold standard and David E. Swayne and his five associate editors must be congratulated on a job well done!." (International Hatchery Practice, 1 March 2014)
"It is more useful as a reference to support an already-determined diagnosis, or for students interested in epidemiology, or requiring more detailed knowledge of specific poultry diseases. As such it is probably aimed at the poultry specialist, researcher or for the library of an academic institute". (Veterinary Record, 15 March 2014)
