The Management of Enclosed and Domesticated Deer International Husbandry Systems and Diseases

“This unique book fills something of a publishing void and will occupy an important place on the shelf of anyone responsible for captive deer … . This is a substantial, comprehensive and authoritative volume that is destined to become a respected text on the subject. It is also happens to be very readable and packed with information that will fascinate any deer enthusiast.” (DEER - Journal of the British Deer Society, Vol. 20 (7), 2023)

“Each chapter starts with a short abstract and keywords; there are references at the end of the chapter and these range from limited to extensive in number. ... This book will be a major standard reference point for future publications about enclosed deer for many years. My congratulations to the editor and the many contributors for sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge about deer.” (Aiden Foster, VetRecord, Vol. 192 (1), January, 2023)
