Calving the cow & care of the calf

Essentially a veterinary surgeon, the author has always specialized in obstetrics.

Appalled at the damage done by existing "brute force" calving methods, he pioneered caesarean section in 1945 - a technique now practised throughout the world.

He followed this up with a study of natural bovine birth.

The results of this study and the techniques which evovled from it form the basis of this book. This fourth edition features a concise, clear text built around a large number of specially taken photographs.
