Index
This edition has a number of new chapters, as well as expansion and
updating of the chapters from the previous version. A new chapter
on "laboratory investigation" complements the chapter on "how to
carry out a field investigation".
The text is easy to read and the format allows the reader to access
information quickly on a specific pathogen or disease, making it a
useful reference text.
This is a first-class book, which is both readable and a
comprehensive reference text. It should be in the library of every
poultry practice or general practice that aspires to do poultry
work.
The Veterinary Record, May 2008
The book aims to be the definitive standard reference work on
current health and disease issues relevant to anyone involved in
working with poultry, with an emphasis on the poultry industry. The
editors have done an excellent job of condensing a diverse wealth
of knowledge into an acessible format. A large international team
of contributors and UK editors, who are active and renowned in
their particular fields, has written the chapters and this provides
new approaches and ideas. There is good use of high-quality
photographs and diagrams, with the easy layout allowing information
to obtained quickly. This is a much-needed textbook that provides
detailed information on poultry diseases, and is of interest to
veterinarians working with small-scale and large-scale
poultry-keeping situations.
