The Horse from Conception to Maturity

This classic work is an enlarged and completely updated edition of a standard textbook widely used by professionals and students throughout the equine industry. The contents cover the management of mares and stallions, conception, pregnancy, foaling and the care of foals and youngstock. The authors examine every aspect of the breeding process in detail, including what action to take when things go wrong, and have included the latest technological developments and research data. Profusely illustrated with line, colour and halftone photographs, this book will be of inestimable value not only to veterinarians and stud owners, but also to a new generation of students seeking a career in horse breeding.
