Dairy Herd Health by Jonathan Statham
Dairy herd health is an important and universal topic in large animal veterinary practice and farming, covering both preventive medicine and health promotion. With the move towards large-scale farming, the health of the herd is important as an economic unit and to promote the health of the individuals within it. This book focuses on diseases within herds, herd husbandry practices, youngstock management and environmental issues. Major diseases and conditions are covered, including mastitis, lameness, nutrition, metabolic and common infectious diseases from a herd health perspective. It is an essential resource for veterinary practitioners and students, researchers and dairy industry personnel.
Jon holds the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) certificate in Cattle Health and Production for 200 and an RCVS diploma for Cattle Health and Production (2005). In 2006 he became the diplomat of the European College of Bovine Health Management and an RCVS Recognised Specialist in Cattle Health and Production, particularly lamness and mastitis and the impact of the housed environment on health and welfare.
