First published in 1983, this is a comprehensive reference book on sheep diseases. Now fully revised and updated, the third edition takes a more international approach to the many diseases which affect sheep, with contributions from experts around the world. A new section has been added that looks at regional problems in Israel, Middle East and North Africa, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, North America and South America. New chapters include sheep as a worldwide resource and the issue of sheep welfare.
