This is the new (8th) edition of the classic text reference covering all aspects of reproduction and obstetrics in all common, and some less common, domestic species. This is the only book to cover the full range of domestic animals and now also includes less common species such as llamas and alpacas. In addition, more common small animal species such as guinea pigs and rabbits, which have not been discussed in previous editions but which are frequently encountered by practicing veterinarians, are included for the first time.

• Thorough update throughout to reflect changes in practice since the last edition
• Fully comprehensive - everything the student and practitioner needs to know
• Very practical clinical approach throughout
• All common domestic species covered
• Fully revised without becoming any bigger than its current length
• New authors and contributors to ensure contemporary approach
• Section on obstetrics to be completely rewritten and re-organised
• Section on operative interventions to be completely rewritten by new author
• Section on camels expanded to include alpacas and llamas
• New section on small animals, particularly rabbits and guinea pigs
• Chapter on embryo transfer to be completely rewritten by new author to incorporate the extensive recent advances in this subject
