Product Description
Self-sufficiency and organic living have never been more prominent and hen
keeping is becoming increasingly popular. Part of a growing series of
authoritative and inspirational titles, this book provides an introduction
to some of the key aspects of aspiring to a self-sufficient lifestyle by
keeping your own chickens and benefiting from the produce. You don't need a
large garden to keep poultry and an average family only needs a couple of
hens to keep them well stocked in fresh eggs all year round. The set-up
costs are minimal and you don't need a whole host of expensive gadgets or
equipment to care for your chickens. Packed with information on poultry
keeping (housing, food and water, daily care, disease prevention and cure,
encouraging egg production and breeding), there is also comprehensive
information on breeds and a list of useful contacts should you need them.

Product Description
Rabbits are the third most popular pet in the
world and the trend to keep them indoors will make the "house rabbit" the
pet of the next century. Rabbit owners expect and deserve the same standard
of veterinary care for their rabbits as they receive for their cats and
dogs. Devoted entirely to the pet rabbit, this book is a practical and
concise guide to health, husbandry and diseases.
The book begins with an overview of rabbit
husbandry. Nutritional requirements and clinical examination are covered in
chapters 2 and 3. Subsequent chapters then take a body system approach to
describing diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. There are separate
chapters on behaviour, anaesthesia and surgery, and zoonotic
aspects.
