| Editorial Review | This book combines classical parasitology with horse sense, making it a very useful tool for all who work with horses. The authors submit all the evidence available regarding the internal parasites of the horse. Practitioners will appreciate the ease with which they can access the information. (Doody s, 19 July 2013) This text (handbook) is fantastic. Very thorough, I see where they encompassed many decades of information that is science based and also extremely practical. I see a tremendous amount of Dr. R s knowledge and style here, again both scientific and practical included in this text. Extremely easy to read and very concise concerning what information equine vets need and should know about equine parasites and the management and use of current dewormers combined with management strategies. Ton more in here than just deworm your horse every 2 months!. (Steven Grubbs of Boehringer Ingelheim) |
