"This easy to read book is full of interesting suggestions and acts as a stimulus for further considerations. It will be of significant interest first of all to farmers and also to ethologists, veterinarians and to people teaching or working on animal welfare issues." Nadia Francia & Enrico Alleva, ETH, June 2004 "For parasitologists working in organic farming and farmers themselves, this book should certainly have a place in their library."
