Description
Filling a much needed place in veterinary medicine, Handbook of Pig Medicine provides the knowledge needed to recognize, diagnose, treat
and control pig diseases in practice. The book includes high quality illustrations which, where appropriate, complement written descriptions
of clinical signs. It deals with medical, surgical and reproductive problems in pigs. Clinical examination of the individual pig and
the investigation of herd problems are covered in detail, along with a study on pig population medicine. Each body system is considered
with special attention to clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, chapters in the book discuss obstetrics, pig haematology
and biochemistry as well as differential diagnosis. Other topics discussed, include organic and outdoor pigs; problems of the pet pig,
sampling, euthanasia and post-mortem examination.
Audience
Primary market: veterinary students and veterinary practitioners: those who see pigs frequently and those who deal with pigs on rare occasions
