The Survival Guide to Cattle Diseases Vol 2- The Classic USDA Handbook for Diagnosing, Treating, and Preventing Livestock Illness (Copy)

Long before the internet, veterinarians, farmers, and ranchers relied on detailed government publications to keep their livestock healthy and their farms productive.

Originally published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Animal Industry, The Survival Guide to Cattle Diseases is a comprehensive reference containing decades of veterinary knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and management of diseases affecting cattle.

This restored edition preserves one of the most important agricultural references of the early twentieth century while making it accessible to today's homesteaders, ranchers, preparedness enthusiasts, and students of agricultural history.

Inside you'll find practical information on:

• Diseases of the digestive, respiratory, nervous, circulatory, and urinary systems
• Infectious and contagious diseases
• Parasites and poisoning
• Surgical procedures and emergency treatment
• Care of calves and breeding animals
• Diseases of the skin, feet, eyes, and ears
• Administration of medicines
• Veterinary practices used by America's leading livestock experts

Although veterinary medicine has advanced since this handbook was first published, the principles of observation, disease recognition, herd management, and animal husbandry remain remarkably relevant. Whether you raise a family milk cow, manage a beef herd, operate a homestead, or simply enjoy collecting historic government publications, this volume belongs on your shelf.

About Pressure Tested Publishing

This edition has been carefully restored and enhanced with editorial notes where appropriate.

It is published by Pressure Tested Publishing, founded by Dr. David Powers—a third-generation small businessman, veteran of both the Marine Corps and the Army, former combat medic, and lifelong preparedness educator.

Pressure Tested exists to preserve and republish practical knowledge that has stood the test of time. From government manuals and agricultural bulletins to forgotten field guides and survival references, these works contain hard-earned wisdom that remains valuable today.

"I enjoy tracking down old government publications, farm bulletins, survival manuals, and practical guides that have been forgotten in barns, libraries, attics, and dusty bookstore shelves. Too many disappear every year, taking generations of hard-earned knowledge with them. My goal is to rescue that information, preserve it, and put it back into the hands of people who can use it. Technology changes, but the fundamentals of growing food, caring for livestock, building resilience, and solving problems remain remarkably constant. Some knowledge deserves to be preserved—not simply because it's old, but because it still works."
— Dr. David Powers
