Synopsis:

Each year, millions of lambs and tens of thousands of ewes die at lambing, but it is uneconomical to call a vet to each difficult lambing, and each sick lamb or ewe. This practical guide explains, in simple terms, how much of this loss could be prevented, by providing a basic understanding of the problems lambs and ewes can suffer, and the techniques used to prevent or alleviate them. Practical Lambing and Lamb Care, now in its second edition, is a comprehensive reference manual covering each step of the lambing process and the techniques which may be needed at each stage, in the treatment and care of newborn lambs and ewes

Review: "This book is a revised edition that provides practical guidance and information on aspects of lambing and lamb care. It covers the major diseases and problems seen in lambs and includes chapters on ewe health, including abortion issues, preventitive methods, lambing techniques and animal welfare issues. There is new information on zoonotic infections, the handling and storage of drugs, flock health plans and consideration for organic producsers.
This book would be of interest to animal producers, veterinarians and veterinary and agricultural students.
CAB Abstracts, 2005

"The inclusion of simple diagrams and clear instruction make this a useful reference for those caring for sheep as well as students."

"The book is easy to read, well laid out and would be a useful reference book for those caring for sheep."
Irish Veterinary Journal, 2005

"All sheep practices should have a copy and advise their sheep clients like–wise. If the information within this book were implemented on all sheep enterprises, the welfare of lambs would be significantly improved."
Veterinary Record, 2005
