Average rating of 5/5 Comprehensive publication for professionals and amateurs., 2001-07-20
This book, although technical, contains thorough and concise explanations of all important aspects of both producing healthy foals and their post-natal care. Veterinary content is elementary, but the focus on the reproductive cycles of both the mare and stallion in detail throughout the book make the reproductive workings of the equine easier to understand in day to day situations as well as emergency situations. Solutions to common problems are identified and this book is an invaluable resident on any equine based higher education student's bookshelf.

Hormonal workings and artificial control:one of the most important aspects of successful breeding cycle management, especially in thoroughbreds is detailed in a clear, concise manner and no terminology is left unexplained. The oestrus cycle is made clear and as un-complicated as possible and manipulation of this is approached with caution in mind.

A well-written source of knowledge with appropriate, clear photographs and illustrations with not only the horse in mind, but the handler as well.

Average rating of 4/5 Excellent value, 2005-08-16
I was sent this book as part of an OU course, so didn't actually choose to buy it. However, it has been worth it's weight in gold. The diagrams are clear, the text is relevant and well explained. After reading this book I have finally come to grips with the reproductive hormones, although sometimes at first glance it is not clear which hormones are relevant to humans or other mammals.

Average rating of 5/5 Excellent step-by-step procedures for midwifery!, 1999-01-06
We would have been lost without this book. We read it four times before our female Bichon Frise was ready to deliver. It gives excellent step-by-step procedures that guided us through the whelping process and made us aware of difficulties that we could encounter. After studying the information, we were ready and able to take on the responsibility. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering breeding their dog. To the authors, "Bravo!"
