From the ‘backyard chicken’ to the pet llama, an increasing number of farm animals are kept in small numbers by ‘hobby farmers’ or as purely companion animals. These animals often require a different type of care to large flocks and this may well fall to the predominately small animal veterinary surgeon. This Manual provides practical information on health, husbandry, medicine and surgery of companion animals more commonly regarded as farm species.
