Résumé
The third edition of this book is a wonderful visual romp through diseases and disorders of cattle throughout the world, and would be a useful addition to any bovine practitioner’s library. The book is organized into 13 chapters by body systems (with the exception of Congenital and Neonatal Disorders that start the book, and Infectious Diseases and Toxicological Disorders that end it). This makes for a very organized flow of information. Each chapter is divided into specifically grouped diseases, but each also has unique divisions. For example, Ocular Disorders are grouped into congenital, acquired and neoplastic conditions, while Alimentary Disorders are grouped anatomically. Most of the chapters have infectious and non-infectious divisions, whereas the Infectious Diseases chapter is subdivided into viral, bacterial, tick-borne and miscellaneous components. It may sound confusing, but it is actually very logical as one reads through the book. There is an exceptionally detailed index indicating the page of the pictures as well as the text, and also a page for the clarification of acronyms. There are 848 color photographs; concise written overviews with at least one, to as many as four, photos that comprise each named condition. There is about a quarter of a page of script per disease, which is broken into 4 subheadings: definition, clinical features, differential diagnosis, and management; the text is impressively succinct. The differential diagnosis sections are comprised of a list of conditions with reference to appropriate figures found elsewhere in the book. The management sections are brief, yet relatively complete, synopses of treatment. As stated in the preface, the aim is not to provide in-depth discussion on treatment, but to provide the basic premise. There is no mention of specific drug therapy, but types of drugs, e.g., NSAIDs, antibiotics, anti-parasitics, etc., are suggested where necessary, and there are tips on how to avoid the problem, such as a feed or housing change, vaccination, surgery, etc. The book’s panoply of content is remarkably complete and covers the most common of diseases to the relatively obscure. There is even a small section on dystocia, which, practically speaking, is fairly useless, but in the essence of completeness, does round out the chapter titled Urinogenital Diseases. The chapter on Locomotor Disorders is especially thorough. There are 22 pages dedicated to the lower limb and digit with numerous high quality photos of hooves showing a myriad of conditions. Each photo is well-described and cross-referenced to other pictures, if indicated. It is interesting that there are 30 named conditions of the bovine foot — definitely the most detailed chapter in the book. While there is an obvious dairy cow bent, the common causes of beef cow lameness are well-covered. The second part of this chapter is on the upper limb and spine. This can be a particularly frustrating area of bovine medicine as there are many causes of downer/crippled cows that are difficult to differentiate. The chapter covers many disorders, and the excellent photos include radiographs and postmortem specimens; some of the photos exhibit pathognomonic presentations — always useful to show when communicating with producers. In general, I think this book is a wonderful addition to any veterinary library. It is attractively laid out and the cross-referencing is excellent. The atlas will have international appeal due to the attention it affords to tropical diseases. Many of these are names that just linger as vague memories of veterinary school for the average Canadian bovine practitioner, so it is worthwhile to be reminded that these serious diseases are still present in many parts of the world. I would recommend this book to anybody involved in cattle production. Moderately priced, it is suited to students and veterinarians as a quick and easy reference in everyday practice.
