Bovine Pathology

“The book was designed with the needs of veterinary pathologists and practitioners in mind, and it should be a useful resource for the daily practice of bovine veterinarians, with emphasis on those working with feedlots. Veterinary students and veterinarians in training will also benefit greatly from the information contained in this book, which has examples of almost all lesions a bovine veterinarian should expect to see in his or her career. The book should prove a very valuable resource for veterinarians preparing for different specialty boards …. A particularly useful feature of the atlas is the inclusion of brief text accompanying each image, which should prove of practical use when rapid consultation on the face of a particular case is required. An updated list of references after each chapter provides support for those readers who would like to dig deep into a particular condition. Images of immunohistochemistry and special stains add value to the discussion of each condition. Finally, and as a bonus, the book comes with a code that allows access to an electronic version of the book. This book is a must in any veterinary pathologist bookshelf and/or computer.”

Francisco Uzal - Veterinary Pathology

“ The editors’ and contributors’ practical experience with food animal pathology shines through. Important diseases are illustrated by 5–7 images. There are short, boxed fact sheets for particular disease syndromes, and a reliable 14-page index. One advantage of the book is that it provides online access to all of the images. …Readers should have few complaints. …All in all, a working book to have in the laboratory. “

Donal O'Toole - Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation

“I found this book to be organized, thorough, visually appealing, and interesting. In it, there are things one sees every day and things one has rarely or never seen. From a Canadian perspective it is quite relevant, with a slight emphasis on feedlot and a western hemisphere bias. This book will definitely be useful to pathologists, students (who can still remember their histology), and bovine practitioners (who probably can’t), and might even provide some incentive to do more postmortems in the field to find some of these interesting lesions.”
