Our Review

This essential guide delivers comprehensive coverage of equine, bovine, camelid, and porcine medicine specifically tailored for veterinary technicians working in farm animal practice. Reflecting the rigorous standards set by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the book systematically addresses everything from biosecurity protocols and safe restraint techniques to advanced diagnostic procedures and reproductive management for large species. The practical approach makes complex clinical concepts accessible, while detailed chapters by field experts ensure readers gain authoritative knowledge across all major farm animal categories.

What sets this resource apart is its technician-focused perspective, providing the specific skills and protocols needed for daily practice rather than the veterinarian-level depth that often dominates similar texts. The inclusion of numerous full-color images creates an invaluable visual reference for identifying conditions and mastering procedures that are fundamental to large animal care. Veterinary technology students and practicing technicians seeking to specialize in farm animal medicine will find this an indispensable reference that bridges the gap between classroom learning and clinical application in the field.
