The Art of Bovine Ausculation

This unique CD-ROM is an illustrated guide to sounds heard through a stethoscope. Divided into three sections--gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and respiratory-- it includes illustrations coupled with synchronized visual interpretations. The explanations provided in this thorough CD provide students and veterinarians alike with the information they need to interpret the sounds heard through their stethoscopes. The first section is devoted to the gastrointestinal tract. Understanding the gastrointestinal tract depends upon the identification and interpretation of abdominal sounds like grunts, percussion, pings, succussion splashes, and motility sounds. The cardiovascular section shows normal cardiac auscultation results along with abnormal findings of common cardiac disorders of cattle. The respiratory section displays auscultation findings in healthy cattle and those found in the common upper and lower respiratory diseases of cattle.
