Description

Reviews

This volume is intended as a guide to the diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases and metabolic conditions in commercial ratites. The industry requires a professional and proactive approach to the enhancement of productivity and amelioration of managerial, environmental, and disease-related problems. Included is a comprehensive approach to enhancing ratite productivity through integration of scientific knowledge of nutrition, management, disease control, and therapy. There are contributions by more than 15 experts in specific fields.

"This is a multifaceted book by multiple authors which effectively addresses many of the problems encountered during the developmental stages of the ratite industry in the USA. The majority of the authors are veterinarians and this is reflected in the book's contents." -- Journal of Preventative Veterinary Medicine.

"I strongly recommend this book for people involved with ratites, whether they are in a zoo setting or are involved in the farm production of these animals." -- James M. Jensen, DVM, Texas A&M University, Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 10(4):293, 1996.

"The appendix on ratite formulary for standard medications, vitamin and mineral supplements and miscellaneous therapeutics is remarkably complete and well worth the price of the volume." -- The Ostrich News, January 1997.

"We recommend this book--it is useful not only to the producer, both new and experienced, but also to the feed supplier and veterinarian." -- Small Farm Today, December 1996

"Any veterinarian interested in the practice of veterinary medicine on ratites will find his or her money well spent on this book." -- Judith Samson, DVM, The Canadian Veterinary Journal, Vol. 38, November 1997.
