Practitioners will appreciate theease with which they can access the information.” (Doody’s, 19 July 2013)

“This text (handbook) is fantastic. Very thorough, I seewhere they encompassed many decades of information that is sciencebased and also extremely practical. I see a tremendous amount ofDr. R’s knowledge and style here, again both scientific andpractical included in this text. Extremely easy to read and veryconcise concerning what information equine vets need and shouldknow about equine parasites and the management and use of currentdewormers combined with management strategies. Ton more in herethan” just deworm your horse every 2 months!.” (Steven Grubbs of Boehringer Ingelheim)
