As textbooks go, this is one of the few that I may actually choose
to read in a spare moment, not just when madly researching what
could possibly be the problem when I get called to a goat farm. It
contains interesting information on the background of goat farming,
goat behaviour, nutrition and husbandry in the introductory
section... This hardback, logically presented book will live on a
handy shelf to be used on a regular basis. - Pam Brown, mixed
practice vet at Alnorthumbria Vets, Wooler, in Veterinary Record,

that can have an impact on goat health and welfare worldwide,

management and control. Covers basic anatomy, common breeds and

gives us a full spectrum of activity from nomadic tribes moving
with their animals, to the range-keeping in Australia, to units
fattening goat kids for meat and to intensive goat dairy production
systems. Alongside these production systems are those in which
goats are kept in small numbers as a hobby, as pets and at public
attractions. This book deals with the diseases and challenges
impacting all kinds of goats and their owners. It will be
invaluable to veterinarians in practice and training, animal
scientists and agricultural advisors, as well as scientists
interested in animal welfare.
