Common Diseases of Farm Animals

A practical veterinary manual for agricultural students and stockmen that reviews causes, diagnosis, prevention, and basic treatment of frequent illnesses affecting livestock. It outlines general principles of disease, signs, and therapeutic measures, then treats system-based disorders—digestive, hepatic, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, integumentary, and ocular—and conditions affecting locomotion and dentition. Surgical procedures, parasitic and infectious ailments receive species-specific attention for swine, cattle, horses, and poultry, with emphasis on sanitation, prevention, and herd management rather than extensive medicinal recipes. Illustrations, review questions, and practical guidance support classroom teaching and on-farm reference.
