The fourth edition of the most trusted and comprehensive reference on beef cattle health care, breed selection, and grass-fed cattle raising techniques is now fully revised and updated, and features colour photography and illustration.

This comprehensive guide provides a common-sense approach to keeping a horse healthy, sound, and happy by encouraging horse owners to center horse-keeping practices around the horse's needs.

Now with full-colour photography and illustrations throughout, the completely updated third edition of Storey's Guide to Raising Horses is the most comprehensive horse husbandry handbook available for first-time owners and experienced horse handlers.

Beginning with detailed information on how to detect signs of illness, this book takes readers through the various causes of cattle health problems, describing symptoms and discussing prevention and treatment. It offers advice on handling bacterial and viral diseases; digestive and respiratory problems; and, eye, skin, foot and mouth irritations.

Healthy pregnancies, safe births, and thriving calves are critical to every cattle operation, and in remote farm locations, the veterinarian is not always readily available. The author covers various routine situations likely to arise before, during, and after calving.

Whether you're buying your first horse, choosing breeding stock, or simply want to learn more about your equine companion, THE HORSE CONFORMATION HANDBOOK will help you understand horses better than ever before.
