Book SynopsisBlackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion: Equine Theriogenology provides quick access to essential information on common techniques and conditions in equine reproductive practice. Part of the popular Blackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult series, this resource builds on the reproduction section of Blackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Equine to present expanded theriogenology coverage with clinical photographs. With information ranging from artificial insemination and fetal sexing to parentage testing and vaccination programs, the book offers 158 similarly formatted chapters to help practitioners efficiently manage reproductive health in the mare and stallion and confidently treat fetal and neonatal patients.Trade Review"The alphabetical listing is very useful for quick referencing and avoids the need to use the overcomplicated index. . . As fairy godmothers go she is certainly worth getting to know, and after she grants my first wish and gets a sensible hardback overcoat, she will be a welcome passenger in my car." (Veterinary Record, 18 June 2011) "The information is primarily for practicing veterinarians, but students, owners, and researchers might find it useful as well." (Booknews, 1 June 2011) "The whole format is excellent with photographs and drawings which really help the reader. The depth of coverage is very extensive, covering all the normal topics and including excellent chapters on foal conditions.... I tried a small experiment with referencing a single rare condition, hypocalcaemia. It took me only four minutes to read a full review of the condition. I tried to get the same information on the internet but gave up with only half the story after 12 minutes. My case rests. Buy this book and it will be useful for several years."

Book SynopsisTakes us back to the deep Southwest and the never-a-dull-moment years the author spent as a practicing horse doctor along the Pecos and the Rio Grande. This book tells the tales of his struggles with mean stockmen, yellowweed fever, banditos, poison hay, and 'drouth'.Trade Review“Ben Green has won the approval of the sternest literary critics I know—ranch cowboys. In old Doc’s books, they recognize a man who knew horses and cattle to the bone and could tell about them with honest prose and a sly cowboy sense of humor. I’ve read them all, as have most of the cowboys I know.”—John R. Erickson, rancher and author of the Hank the Cowdog series

Book SynopsisEquine Bandaging, Splinting, and Casting Techniques A practical reference manual dealing with a vital component of clinical practice in equine medicine The application of bandages, splints, and casts is an essential part of equine surgical and veterinary care. Traditionally, however, there have been few available resources wholly dedicated to application techniques. The result is that equine veterinary practitioners learn to bandage, splint, and cast on the job, with highly variable results; some practitioners are unwilling even to attempt a cast, spurning this valuable healing tool entirely rather than attempt it from an uncertain base of knowledge. Equine Bandaging, Splinting, and Casting Techniques offers the first comprehensive reference to this specific set of techniques and their applications in equine veterinary medicine. It promises to cultivate a rigorous, clinically tested, consistent standard of care that will improve patient outcomes and long-term owner costs. It is a mu

Book SynopsisIs your horse afraid of the farrier? Are you both struggling during training sessions? Do you want to use clicker training but don't know where to begin? If you understand how your horse learns and why your training is effective, you can train faster, more ethically, and more sympathetically. Knowing Your Horse will be a key resource if you want to better understand your horse's behaviour and make the most of that understanding to improve your training techniques. Knowing Your Horse gives you a range of practical tools to employ in solving equine behaviour problems, and training tasks and case studies demonstrate these tools in use. Emma Lethbridge thoroughly but simply explains learning theory as applied to horses, and offers practical advice on reward systems, positive and negative reinforcement, and overcoming fears and phobias. If it's not horses but humans that are causing you problems in training, this book will also help you to explain the concepts to othTrade ReviewThis book is for owners who not only care about their horse, but also are willing to make a little effort to discover the true potential of their relationship. I can assure you your efforts will be more than rewarded. This book blends good science effortlessly with practice, so that the reader can soon become a more skilled trainer… If you understand the principles, then you are only limited by your imagination, and as you discover the many joys of training you will inevitably develop a deeper appreciation of horses… Emma is a passionate horse lover who genuinely takes the welfare of horses to heart, and she is also a scientist who understands both the theory and practice of learning and training. Perhaps what is less obvious is how rare it is to find this combination of characteristics in an individual who can write so clearly. She has brought together a wealth of knowledge with some of the latest research findings, to create an easy to read text. Professor Daniel S. Mills, RCVS Recognised & European Specialist in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine, University of Lincoln, UK Instead of punishing what many perceive to be the horse ‘misbehaving’, often it is the horse trying to communicate that he is in pain, or is being blocked by the rider. Far from being able to carry out the rider’s wishes, it may be impossible for the horse to do so, but because, unlike a dog, he cannot cry out, he is punished for merely trying to communicate his pain or fear. It therefore behoves us to understand how the horse learns, and how his mind works. Scientific in thinking, Knowing Your Horse is nonetheless very readable. This book should be on the bookshelves of all who ride or train horses.

Book SynopsisCompletely updated and revised, Farm Animal Behaviour 2nd Edition continues to provide essential information on normal and stereotypic behaviours in a wide variety of farm animals to help in the assessment and diagnosis of their health and welfare. Comprehensive coverage of a range of farmed animals from: horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs through to domesticated poultry, deer, ostrich and many other species. Innate, learned and social behaviours are described together with activity, vision and hearing to build a picture of normal behaviours presented in a clear and consistent way for each species. Stereotypic behaviours, injuries and disease, resulting from improper management practices, are outlined in detail. For the second edition Professor Stefan Gunnarsson joins the author team and contributes his long-standing knowledge, clinical and scientific expertise. Many new snapshot photographs in full colour throughout have been added to further illustrate behaviours as they occur. New information on normal and stereotypic behaviours is included. The explosion in new research is captured with a wealth of new references and pointers for further reading. A consistent approach to each species allows for easy comparison. Farm Animal Behaviour 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive yet concise background for all students, postgraduates and practitioners in veterinary medicine, animal science, welfare and ethology.Table of ContentsPART I: DOMESTICATED MAMMALS 1: Horse (Equus caballus) 2: Swine (Sus scrofa) 3: Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) 4: Cattle (Bos taurus) 5: Sheep (Ovis aries) 6: Goat (Capra hircus) PART II: DOMESTICATED BIRDS 7: Domestic Fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus) 8: Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) 9: Goose (Anser anser f. domesticus, Anser cygnoides f. domesticus) 10: Domestic Duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata) PART III: NON-DOMESTICATED FARMED ANIMALS 11: Deer: Fallow Deer (Dama dama) and Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) 12: Ratite: Ostrich (Struthio camelus), Rhea or Nandu (Rhea americana) and Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
