Produktbeschreibung

External Parasites of Small Ruminants A Practical Guide to their Prevention and Control Peter Bates Sheep and goats are farmed throughout the world for meat, fibre, milk and leather. These small ruminants are very susceptible to external parasites, which has significant implications for their health and welfare, as well as the quality and value of the end products for which they are farmed. This book gives practical guidance on preventing and controlling ectoparasites that contribute to disease and infection in sheep and goats. Split into useful chapters focusing on the main ectoparasites concerning small ruminants, such as mites, ticks, lice, flies and fleas, this book then discusses the diseases they cause and the methods of control available. Thereafter, the author adopts a wider viewpoint on the issues of diagnosis, prevention and control and the economic fallout, as well as broader implications such as animal welfare and environmental impacts. An essential handbook for large animal vets and parasitologists, this book is also a valuable source of information for farmers, farming industry personnel and students of animal and veterinary sciences.
