Review Quotes:
" The editors' and contributors' practical experience with food animal pathology shines through. Important diseases are illustrated by 5-7 images. There are short, boxed fact sheets for particular disease syndromes, and a reliable 14-page index. One advantage of the book is that it provides online access to all of the images. ...Readers should have few complaints. ...All in all, a working book to have in the laboratory. "
