Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The fourth edition of Diseases of the Goat is an excellent reference for small ruminant practitioners. The layout is easy to use for quick reference. I found the tables particularly helpful in summarizing certain conditions, especially for busy practitioners who find reading large amounts of information cumbersome...Overall, this book will be a great addition to the reference libraries of practitioners who treat the occasional goat or need a daily reference for goat medicine."
