Description: Veterinary Reproduction and Obstetrics has been a reference textbook for veterinary students for many years, as well as for students of animal science and related disciplines; in addition it has also been a reference source for the practicing veterinary surgeon. The book covers normal reproduction and reproductive disorders and diseases in the common and less common domesticated species (llamas, alpacas, camels). The book has been completely revised with full colour throughout to include recent developments in reproductive biology and endocrinology, as well as the new knowledge on the causes and treatment of reproductive disease.
