| Publisher Description: J. Prince-Sheldon's "Live Stock in Health and Disease" is a comprehensive and definitive guide to livestock keeping which deals with the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This profusely-illustrated handbook will be of considerable utility to farmers and others with a practical interest in breeding and keeping any type of livestock for pleasure or profit; and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Horse-Breeding in the British Isles", "Breeding, Breaking and Training Light Horses", "Oriental Blood-Horses: Arabs, Barbs, Persians, Dongolas, Turcomans", "The Origin of the Modern British Horse", "History of the English Broodmare", "The Modern Brood-Horse", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and maintenance of horses. |
