THE SHEEP (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from The SheepThe present work was undertaken by the author from the belief that at this time a short and concise treatise on the sheep in general, and more particularly the diseases of the sheep, would prove acceptable to the veterinary student, and perhaps assist the sheep-owner in combatting some of the conditions affecting his stock, especially if the same was written in plain language with the least possible use of technical terms. In the parts of the work dealing with the anatomical structure and digestive arrange ment endeavor has been made to merely make mention of and explain those parts, and their uses, which are most often involved in the diseases of the system.The author desires to express his sincere thanks to many of the secretaries of the different sheep societies of America, who furnished him data concerning their respective breeds, and to, whom he is indebted for many valuable electrotypes of prize winning animals.In the part of the work relating to disease, the classification follows the parts involved. All specific diseases have been rele gated to one chapter, and those due to parasitic invasion are also treated separately.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
