By applying the principles of homeopathy to organic livestock production, you can impact the health of animal species in a way that the effects are seen and felt far beyond the patient. Written for both organic farmers and homeopaths, Homeopathy in Organic Livestock Production contains a discussion of common maladies so readers can recognize symptom complexes and take logical steps toward a remedy -- even if a diagnosis is not known. A valuable resource for organic farmers, it also contains the most common homeopathic remedies and their uses for livestock.

Many farmers today are concerned, not only with the increasing cost of conventional drugs, but also with their side-effects and the build-up of resistant strains of bacteria due to the continued and often indiscriminate use of antibiotics. While this book will appeal to the already converted it is hoped that the unprejudiced newcomer will be sufficiently encouraged to investigate this system of medicine and enjoy its undoubted benefits. The aim of the homeopathic approach is to build up the health of the herd and increase the resistance of its individual members to disease, and, in consequence to increase the milk output and quality. Homeopathic remedies are all derived from natural sources and George Macleod outlines the homeopathic approach to the commoner diseases of cattle, omitting only serious injuries and others which are not economic to treat.
