A Reference Guide To Animal Health And
Housing is published by Lancaster Farming as a
resource for producers to establish and maintain
sound practices in the health and housing areas of
their business. The guide features professional
input from leading university experts, private
practitioners, and veterinary clinics.
Lancaster Farming recognizes the special
contributions to this work made by members of
the staff at Pennsylvania State University, Penn
State Cooperative Extension, University of
Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center, University of
Maryland, University of Maryland Cooperative
Extension, and private veterinarians. Without
their contributions this excellent reference guide
would not have been possible.
Published as a supplement, A Reference Guide
To Animal Health And Housing was originally
part of the April 8, 2000 issue. Additional copies
of the booklet are scheduled to be made available
at area trade shows where Lancaster Farming has
exhibits with special emphasis on Ag Progress
Days, Empire Farm Days, All-American Dairy
Show, Keystone International, and the
Pennsylvania Farm Show.
