Drugs and their Usage - 19/01/1998

Making the correct diagnosis is the most important part of treating an animal or flock, but this can often be a complicated and difficult task. This book is designed to aid the veterinarian and the veterinary technician in making knowledgeable and well-thought-out decisions for the treatment of animals. All the details about medicines and dosages cannot be remembered, thus everyone needs a reference book to look up important information. The book starts with a section on animal restraint, followed by how to determine dosages and monitor the patient. Then it covers the medicine cabinet and methods of administration. Only then comes the drug formulary, followed by sections on vaccines, control of ectoparasites, tranquilizers and sedatives. This book contains vital information to those administering veterinary drugs. 

Raising Healthy Poultry - 19/01/1990

W. Malcolm Reid (1910-1990) was Professor Emeritus of Poultry Science (Parasitology) at the University of Georgia. He saw a need for a book dealing with basic poultry production and recruited others to help him develop one. He knew firsthand the value of poultry as a source of food and manure for soil enrichment.

Raising Healthy Rabbits - 19/01/1988

This manual is designed to give basic information that has been shown to be successful in a variety of situations. We have often opted to describe methods that may be too sophisticated or expensive to apply in every case in an effort to illustrate the optimal condition.  Obviously, not everyone will be able to install stainless steel caging and automatic watering systems, but to omit these would impede individuals aspiring to achieve the ideal.  In most cases we must rely on your ingenuity and creativity to 'make do' for your particular climate and cost restraints.

Raising Healthy Pigs - 19/01/1984

This book speaks to the challenges of small farm pig production. The two main themes of malnutrition and parasite control are dealt with in depth, utilizing very practical ideas and methods. The author repeatedly emphasizes the need to deal with these issues if the farmer is to be successful in pig farming. The book has many practical suggestions, and is an excellent primer in pig farming.  This book is also available in Spanish.
