A complete guide to the anatomy and physiology of farm animals, fully updated and revised
In the newly revised ninth edition of Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals, distinguished veterinary professors Drs. Anna Fails and Christianne Magee deliver a comprehensive guide for animal science, veterinary technician, and pre-veterinary students and instructors seeking a well-organized and easy-to-understand resource. The new edition offers modified and refined learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, as well as a brand-new chapter on llamas/alpacas that highlights the significant species differences and explains the roles of these species in the wool and packing industries.
Additional illustrations enhance comprehension and improve the anatomy sections of the book. New “Study Prompts,” integrative application questions, are included in each chapter in differently colored text and stimulate understanding of the material. Finally, a reorganized companion website is included with the book. It integrates fully with the print text and provides supplemental content, including word roots, clinical cases, study and practice questions, and additional images, diagrams, and videos.
Readers will also find:
Anna Dee Fails, DVM, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.
Christianne Magee, DVM, PhD, Dip ACT, is Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. She’s also a Diplomate of the American College of Theriogenology.
