Alternative Treatments for Ruminant Animals: Safe, Natural Veterinary Care for Cattle, Sheep and Goats

Drawing on decades of veterinary practice, Dr. Paul Dettloff presents a natural, sustainable approach to ruminant health. Copiously illustrated chapters "break down" the animal into its interrelated biological systems: digestive, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal and more. Also includes a chapter on nosodes, with vaccination programs for dairy cattle, sheep and goats. An information-packed manual from a renowned vet and educator, suitable for anyone interested in helping ruminants achieve optimal health naturally.

Dr. Paul Dettloff was raised on a farm in Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1967. Though he began his career as a conventional practitioner, he now specializes in the sustainable and organic/biological treatment of dairy and beef cows, sheep and goats using natural remedies, botanicals, homeopathy and holistic treatment of the farm. He operates Dr. Paul’s Lab and is co-founder of Crystal Creek, a firm that provides natural veterinary supplies and remedies. He currently practices in rural Arcadia, Wisconsin, and conducts hands-on workshops around the country on the care of ruminants.
