The new edition of this text has been fully revised and updated. Sheep are becoming increasingly important in the agricultural economy of Britain and the other European Economic Community countries and in order for sheep farming to be maintained as an economically viable commodity in increasingly competitive markets, up-to-date information on the husbandry of sheep and the treatment of the diseases to which they are susceptible is essential. This book combines information about scientific and technical advances with basic knowledge of sheep farming in a clear understandable way. Current methods of disease control are fully explained and the book is illustrated with photographs, diagrams, tables and charts.
