Trends in Clinical Diseases, Production and Management of Goats, Two Volume Set examines goat diseases and their remedial measures after drug application. The book elaborates on disease and pathogenesis in a systematic way, describing disease evaluation, pathogenesis, identifications of pathogens and their severity to animals, exhibition of disease manifestation, and preventive and treatment strategies to counteract the aetiopathogenesis caused by pathogens. Further, the book gives insights on the microbial pathogenesis of goats, an overview of clinicals diseases of goats, and the impact on human health, aiming its content towards a broad audience, including microbiologists, veterinary scientists, and those working in the industry.
