Arthur’s Veterinary Reproduction and Obstetrics has been the standard reference textbook for veterinary students for many years, as well as for students of animal science and related disciplines; in addition it has also been a useful reference source for the practicing veterinary surgeon. The new edition builds on the success of the previous edition covering normal reproduction and reproductive disorders and diseases in the common and less common domesticated species (llamas, alpacas, camels). The book has been completely revised with full colour throughout to include recent developments in reproductive biology and endocrinology, as well as the new knowledge on the causes and treatment of reproductive disease.

Dr. Hans-Klaus Dreier, European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, October 2009

"It is a unique charm of this book that nestling in between chapters on modern embryo transfer techniques you can find dystocia pictures from 19th century texts...an essential text for all veterinary students, equine and farm animal practitioners."
