Ten new chapters have been added to this edition including information on cloning of domestic animals, complementary and alternative veterinary medicine, and diseases and disorders like equine metabolic syndrome, disorders of potassium metabolism, seminal vesiculitis in bulls and pseudopregnancy in goats. New information on African hedgehogs made it this year and reflects a growing popularity of this exotic species.
