Beschreibung

Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery is a practical resource offering guidance on developing diagnostic and treatment plans for individual companion poultry or small flocks. Organized by body system to aid in developing a differential diagnosis list for common presenting signs, the book provides all the information clinicians need to effectively treat backyard poultry. Written by experts from both the commercial poultry field and the companion avian field, the book provides thorough coverage of both common and less common diseases of backyard chickens, ducks, and other poultry. The book begins with introductory chapters covering general information, an overview of US laws, and basic husbandry concerns, then moves into specific disease chapters organized by system. The book takes an individual medicine perspective throughout, with photographs, radiographs, and histopathological photomicrographs to illustrate principles and diseases. Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery is an invaluable guide to diseases and treatments for any practitioners treating backyard poultry.

Foreword

Having operated an almost exclusively avian practice for over 3 decades, I've encountered practically every avian species commonly- and uncommonly- maintained as a pet. I must admit, it was initially surprising to me to observe which species are more valued by their owners. Extraordinarily rare and/or expensive specimens are sometimes regarded as nothing more than ornaments. Common, even feral, individuals have frequently exhibited as much value to their caretakers as human children do to their parents. Never should we, as veterinarians, or humans for that matter, judge the importance a pet plays in its owner's life. We, therefore, as veterinary professionals, should be adequately prepared to see and competently care for at least the majority of species we may encounter in private practice.

It is with that understanding that the veterinary profession should enthusiastically welcome the publication of Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery. Rarely does a reference text come along that covers A to Z as thoroughly as this one does. Beginning with fundamentals, such as basic husbandry, progressing through common diagnostics and diagnoses, and extending into egg maladies, and even biosecurity, the authors have outdone themselves.

Which brings me to the authors: Each is a proven authority in his or her particular subject, and readers can rest assured that the information provided here is, as much as any life science can be, indisputably accurate and authoritative.

Following the publication of this book, it would be such a waste for almost anyone seeing avian species to be without it.
