This CD ROM is an accompaniement to Roger Blowey's book, the third edition of the standard text for a wide range of dairy farming and veterinary courses throughout the world. The purpose of the book is to enable the dairy farmer, beef producer and calf rearer to keep their stock healthy and productive. The emphasis is on the causes of disease and their control by management and stockmanship, so preventive medicine features prominently.
Roger Blowey explains in detail the principles behind such common problems as mastitis, infertility and lameness and links them to effective control programmes. He takes the same approach towards a full range of cattle disorders, broadly grouped according to the age and development of the animal from young calf to adult.
