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.
