    Uploaded by

    Ennur Nufian
    This document reviews a veterinary reproduction and obstetrics textbook. It summarizes that the textbook focuses on normal reproduction, obstetrics, and infertility in domestic animals. It includes new information on goats, cats, camels and buffalos. Over half covers normal reproductive function and the remainder covers infertility causes. While it adequately covers most topics, some sections on infertility, particularly for males, are brief. It is primarily intended for veterinary students to learn about normal reproduction and obstetrics.

    BOOK REVIEW A REVUE DE LIVRE


    Arthur GH, Noakes DE, Pearson H. Veterinary Reproduction and Obstetrics (6th edition). Toronto. Balliere Tindall, 1989. pp. 641 $72.00
    T he preface indicates that this text is primarily intended for veterinary students and practising veterinarians who wish to keep abreast of new developments. While this edition concentrates on normal reproduction, obstetrics and infertility in the traditional domestic animals, it also includes new information on goats, cats, camels and buffalo. A little over half of the book is devoted to normal reproductive function, parturition, dystocia and obstetrics and the remainder summarizes causes for infertility. Chapters on the male, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer are also included. The estrous cycle and its endocrinological control are described for all domestic animals, and hormone profiles are well illustrated with diagrams and graphs. Different methods and regimens for controlling the estrous cycle are documented, however, control of the cycle in the mare, doe (goat) and bitch are very brief. The section on pregnancy and parturition reviews the endocrinological control of pregnancy and methods for diagnosis of pregnancy together with a comparison of placentation in the different species. The endocrinology of late gestation and parturition is well documented, however the series of photographs depicting parturition are not very clear. Line drawings may have been more meaningful for students of veterinary medicine. Methods for induction of parturition are reviewed for the mare, cow, sow, ewe, and does but very little guidance is given regarding selection of cases for induction especially in the mare. The type and prevalence of dystocia are listed for the various species. The overall approach to an obstetrical case with excellent illustrations of the different types of dystocia should be very useful to veterinary students. Methods for correcting cranial and caudal presentation dystocias are well described and illustrated, although percutaneous fetotomy (embryotomy) is seldom used and the use of general anesthesia is not usually required for fetotomy in the mare. The common injuries and diseases associated with parturition and the immediate postpartum period are reviewed.

    A separate chapter on genital surgery in the dog and cat includes cesarean section and ovariohysterectomy. Most of the second half of the book briefly summarizes the causes of infertility in each of the domestic animals. In some instances, students may have difficulty appreciating the relative importance of the different diseases because the authors have given similar emphasis to rare conditions such as persistent corpora lutea in cows and cystic ovaries in mares as they have for common diseases such as subestrous in cows and prolonged estrus in mares. Ovulatory defects in cows (including cystic follicles) are discussed in detail. The chapter on infertility in cows includes a section on control of dairy herd fertility that discusses a variety of reproduction recording systems and measures of reproductive performance. A chapter on males includes sections on anatomy, physiology, behavior, and methods for semen collection. The review of electro-ejaculation and semen evaluation is very brief and may not be of sufficient depth for practitioners involved in evaluation of large numbers of range bulls. Diseases and injuries of the male reproductive system are well described and supplemented with photographs. Although artificial insemination is adequately covered in most species of animals, there is very little recent information on horses, particularly the use of transported cooled semen. The book concludes with chapters on reproduction of the camel, buffalo and embryo transfer in each

    species. In summary, the focus of the book is normal reproduction and obstetrics. Although all areas of infertility are dealt with, many are very brief, particularly the sections on male breeding soundness evaluation. Much of the discussion regarding management and control of reproduction and diseases refers to management practices used in the United Kingdom. This is primarily a text for undergraduate students in veterinary medicine.
