Reviews
As a learning guide, this book is well-researched and comprehensive and has used the effective formatting of commencing each chapter with an itemized list of learning goals while the texts are organized in short paragraphs that are strategically interspersed with boxes, sketches, figures and graphs, presented in contrasting but subtle colour coding. All these enhance its appeal and accessibility and make it an indispensable tool for livestock development programming at all levels.
