Description
The authors pay particular attention to the histology, growth, and function of the bovine hoof. In addition to the gross anatomy of the udder, its development, histology, and function are described and illustrated. One chapter is devoted to the pathology, pathogenesis, and molecular biology of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, scrapie of sheep and goats, and chronic wasting disease.
Each page of text is followed by a full page of colour illustrations. The Second Edition also contains more than 70 new diagrams and clinical photographs. The book has long been acknowledged as a valuable reference for study and revision, and this new edition is an essential resource for practitioners and students alike.

Reviews
...a `must-have' book for anyone with an interest in bovine medicine... not only provides a detailed atlas of bovine anatomy; it also includes a comprehensive section on clinical anatomy... consistent layout of pages, with text on the left and drawings on the right... The large size is beneficial, the drawings are very clear and the illustration of structures from different angles makes a good visual aid for dissection; the colours are eye-catching and make it a pleasure just to leaf through the book... The coverage of material is comprehensive while remaining clinically relevant... The quality of the images and illustrations is superb and the descriptions of procedures are extremely helpful... very reasonable price
