About the book >.>.> The BSAVA Manual of Farm Pets by Freda Scott-Park and Victoria Roberts serves as a comprehensive resource for veterinary surgeons who encounter farm animals within general practice. With the rise of smallholders and 'hobby farmers' across the UK, this manual addresses the growing need for veterinary professionals to be knowledgeable about the care and welfare of various companion farm animals, including house cows, sheep, pigs, goats, alpacas, chickens, and waterfowl. The changing agricultural landscape and the increase in hobby farming present unique challenges for the veterinary profession.The manual outlines significant shifts in animal welfare legislation, particularly with the Animal Welfare Acts of 2006, which place a strong emphasis on the owner's responsibility for the welfare of their animals. It highlights that veterinary practitioners must be familiar with both companion animal care and the specific needs of farm animals. As traditional large animal practices convert to solely companion animal care or merge to manage broader areas, there is a pressing need for veterinarians to acquire a refreshed background in farm animal care.Additionally, the manual touches on the environmental responsibilities of farmers under CAP reform, emphasising the growing consumer demand for sustainably sourced food. It includes an introduction to the principles of organic farming, keeping veterinarians well-informed about current trends and regulations. This resource is essential for veterinary surgeons who must navigate the complexities of providing care for both domestic and farm animals in a changing agricultural context.
