About this title

Synopsis

This is the fifth part of f J. Prince-Sheldon's "Live Stock in Health and Disease", which looks at the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This instalment concentrates on farriery, which refers to horse shoeing and the various diseases and ailments of the horses foot. This particular volume will be of considerable utility to horse owners and breeders, and it would make for a fantastic addition to equestrian collections. Contents include: "Principles of Shoeing", "Diseases and Injuries of the Feet of the Horse", "How to Tell a Horse's Age", "Conformation of Cattle and Other Domesticated Animals", "Fractures, Wounds, Injuries, Etc.", "Pregnancy, Parturition, and Abortion", "Diseases of the Genital Organs", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and maintenance of horses.
