...good quality photographs...descriptions of most of the conditions are applicable over a much wider geographic area [than the UK alone]. The descriptions of the diseases and their treatment...provide a good summary of each condition...could be a useful text for undergraduate veterinary students interested in cattle practice and for veterinarians in cattle practice as a source of summary information over a wide range of conditions. It could serve as a reference text that could readily be carried in a practice vehicle and the succinct nature of the text, as well as the supporting photographs, could provide the basic information that is often required in the practice situation. -Jakob Malmo, Australian Veterinary Journal, April 2012 ...gives a succinct summary of the diseases of cattle encountered by farm animal practitioners...a practical manual...provides the necessary background information and then guides the reader in a clear, uncomplicated manner on how to manage the diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases... concise but detailed...provides everything required for routine farm animal practice and is a handy guide...large number of good-quality, informative photographs...especially helpful in explaining the diseases in their wider context...particularly appealing to veterinary undergraduate students...for practitioners not seeing cattle on a regular basis, this would be a handy reference for the practice library -Charlotte R. Bell, Veterinary Record, October 2012
