Reviews

"The authors of Goat Medicine were again successful in providing relevant and important updates of their well-known text and have once again improved this excellent resource. The books format, level of presented detail, and global perspective ensure that it continues to be a valuable resource for goat veterinarians, academic clinicians and scientists, veterinary students, and many other stakeholders in the goat industry."
