This edition reflects their importance with expanded sections on each of these. There is a greater focus on disease prevention, animal welfare and occupational health and safety. A new section groups common causes of disease on the North Coast according to their presenting signs. Each of these conditions is then described in more detail later in the text and for ease of access are listed alphabetically. There is also a new section on programs and calendars to assist producers plan and budget their animal health and husbandry activities.As beef production on the North Coast is largely pasture-based, the focus of this book is on pasture management and sustainable grazing systems. In this edition other cattle production systems are recognised in a new section which includes calf rearing, store fattening, cattle in farm forestry, and cattle on forages and grain.The aim of each section and topic in this book is to give an overview; for further information, suggested references and links are provided.

It is strongly recommended that you seek veterinary assistance to determine the cause and seek advice on the most appropriate programs or treatments. Quality assurance makes it imperative that any therapy given to stock is appropriate and not likely to compromise product quality or animal health.
