| Tóm tắt: | The original idea for this book was to produce a concise practical clinical guide to the
diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment and control of the common conditions affecting sheep in
the UK and an early version appeared in 1983. It was first used for teaching veterinary stu-
dents at the Liverpool Veterinary School but we were encouraged when a number of veteri-
nary surgeons and sheep farmers indicated that they found it helpful and it became well
known as the 'Green Book'. The last edition was published in 1997 by the Liverpool University
Press, although the document has been updated internally every couple of years since then.
The present book has been considerably extended both in the information given on the
main conditions and in the geographical range covered. Although the emphasis remains on
the common conditions affecting sheep in the UK, we have considered their importance in
the countries of northern and southern Europe and elsewhere including Australasia and
other southern hemisphere countries and in North America. We have not discussed the
conditions of sheep maintained for milk production, however, since that is a specialized
area mostly outside our experience.
The emphasis has continued to be on the practical clinical aspects of sheep medicine,
concentrating on common and important aspects. No attempt has been made to cover more
unusual or obscure conditions. Knowledge of the details of pathology and the organisms
involved has been assumed or can be sought elsewhere. Where specific drugs are referred
to we have used the generic name; availability and legislative aspects of use refer to UK
conditions and may vary in other countries. |
