The definitive and authoritative text on cattle diseases in New Zealand and Australia. This extensively revised edition of what is the definitive textbook on diseases in cattle in New Zealand and Australia is written from the perspective of the veterinary practitioner encountering the diseases in cattle on a farm. The reader is provided with a detailed outline of the diagnostic methodology based on clinical examination of body systems, with confirmation by ancillary tests and responses to treatment. The principal authors and guest contributors bring a wealth of practical, academic and research experience to this text. It covers all the important diseases of cattle, with particular emphasis on clinical examination, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, lameness, mastitis, and reproductive disorders. The chapter on practical therapeutics for the cattle veterinarian is of great value for veterinary students, and during on-farm consultations.

Jakob Malmo AO, BVSc, FACVSc, DVSc (honoris causa) is a Registered Veterinary Specialist in Cattle Medicine and Honorary Senior Fellow, Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne’s Maffra Veterinary Centre. As the son of a large animal veterinarian Malno spent a considerable amount of time seeing cattle practice with his father and this inspired him to undertake a career in veterinary science. Upon graduation from the University of Sydney he settled into mixed (primarily cattle) practice in the Macalister Irrigation District of Victoria. In the late 70s he was approached by Prof. Douglas Blood to work with him in the development of the University of Melbourne Rural Veterinary Unit at Maffra. This facility was developed with a view to exposing final year veterinary students to various aspects of cattle medicine and production. Since its inception over 1700 undergraduates have spent time at the unit.
