Description

Cattle are one of the most important food-producing domestic species; they are present
worldwide and their productive systems vary enormously, from the most adapted to the
environment to those which are highly selected and high-productive. Disorders that affect
these animals have multiple aetiologies (infectious, parasitic, nutritional or environmental),
and cause an enormous variety of lesions, many of them having a relevant economic
impact. The macroscopic and histological images set up an essential component for the
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the bovine diseases both in the individual animal
and the whole farm.

The purpose of this atlas is to provide with images and brief descriptions of the pathologies,
grouped by organic systems and anatomic locations, pointing out the aetiology
of each one. The book includes the main disorders affecting the bovines, like congenital
malformations, skin disorders, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and respiratory lesions,
or diseases affecting the locomotor system, sense organs, the nervous system and the
reproductive apparatus of males and females, including the mammary gland.
