Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diseases of Domesticated Birds
The writing of this book has been prompted by a conviction held by the authors, regarding the magnitude of the losses experienced by poultry producers as a result of preventable infectious diseases and parasitic infestations. It is believed that the importance of these losses warrants the effort expended in presenting the essential facts concerning poultry diseases to meet the needs of veterinary practitioners, veterinary stu dents and poultrymen. The title of the book indicates a slight broadening of scope beyond the field of a work on diseases of poultry. Material included deals with the ostrich, cage birds and wild birds in semi-domestication in zoological gardens. Chapters dealing with anatomy of birds, and killing of poultry have been included.
