Produktbeschreibung

If you keep a few goats as pets or for milk, meat, or brush control, you likely don't give much thought to potential disease in your herd. If you are interested in breeding and selling or showing goats, however, you are likely concerned about your herd being free of specific goat diseases, particularly the ones that are highly contagious and for which there are no known cures. Blood tests can detect the possible presence of disease in your goats.

You might also want to confirm a pregnancy, or test for genetic disorders. How To Draw Blood from a Goat will take you through the process: types of tests, options for testing, costs, what you'll need, where to get supplies, how to prepare, how to do the draw, how to safely dispose of used supplies, how to package your samples, what the results mean, and a list of tests, labs, and resources.

Autorenporträt

Leigh Tate has always loved living close to the land. From the back-to-the-land movement to the modern homesteading movement, the agrarian lifestyle is the one she says feels like home. She and her husband currently homestead five acres in the foothills of the Southern Appalachians. Their vision is to become as self-sustaining as possible by stewarding their land, animals, and resources. Leigh's homesteading activities include gardening, food preservation, foraging, raising goats, chickens, and guinea fowl, herbs, cheese making, permaculture landscaping, spinning, weaving, knitting, sewing, quilting, natural dying, soapmaking, wood cookstove cookery, and renovating their old 1920s farmhouse.
