Product Description
Now in its Twelfth Edition, Diseases of Poultry continues its tradition of excellence as the definitive reference of poultry disease. Following the same user-friendly format, the book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most current knowledge of avian pathology, including new coverage of genetic resistance to disease.
Coverage is given to both common and uncommon diseases, and chapters are organized by disease type, including viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic diseases as well as others, such as nutritional, developmental, metabolic, noninfectious diseases and toxins. Each disease section provides detailed coverage of history, etiology, pathobiology, diagnosis, and intervention strategies, as well as the economic and public health significance of each disease.
With a host of international authors, Diseases of Poultry is a must-have resource for all veterinary pathologists, practitioners, agricultural managers and industry leaders involved in poultry health and production.

The 12th updated edition represents an extensive update and overhaul November 15, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Any college-level veterinary medicine library and any practicing vet working with farm animals must have DISEASES OF POULTRY. The 12th updated edition represents an extensive update and overhaul and packs in over 1300 pages of facts, from articles on various types of infections and their treatment to diagnosis, management, and flock health. It's the most extensive reference on the market and will easily prove a vet's 'bible' of information for poultry management many a farmer with a flock will need it, as well.

I cannot say that I have a book 'cause I don't have it. But working in a Centre for Poultry I had a chance to read and learn from this book. I was so impressed with the way that author of this book aproach to diseases of poultry and acctually made so easily understanding and comprehensing this important matter. I acctually started to learn the whole subject from the beginning 'cause it was the best way to get the whole picture. I attend to buy a book for myself as soon as possible so that I can read it again and again. And I know that every time I will certanly learn something more. My best regards to the author where ever he can be. Yours,Marijana Sokolovic.
