Publisher's Synopsis
A number of advances have occurred recently in our knowledge of sheep and goat biology, production and health. The purpose of this book is to bring together a selection of these in the form of 12 specially-commissioned review chapters. Overall they cover most of the sub-disciplines in which research is taking place - physiology, nutrition, reproduction, breding and health. Contributors included are from the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The book should therefore be of interest to a wide range of research workers in animal production and veterinary science.
