    About this ebook

    This antiquarian text provides a carefully selected collection of articles on diseases common to ducks, including information on their diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and more. Written in clear, concise language and containing examples of autopsy findings, helpful tips, and wealth of other practicable information on the ailments of ducks, this collection will be of much interest to the poultry keeper, as well as being of value to the veterinarian or collector of antiquarian literature of this ilk. The articles contained herein include: 'Domestic Geese and Ducks - Paul Ives', 'Ducks and Duck Breeding - Charles Roscoe', and 'Natural and Artificial Duck Culture - James Rankin'. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly expensive and hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this volume, now complete with a new introduction on poultry farming.

      Diseases of Ducks

      Were the only readers of this book, breeders of ducks on a small scale; the fanciers, farmers and those who keep them for the production of meat and eggs for the family table, there would be little need of this chapter. For in small flocks of ducks kept under nearly normal conditions, disease is practically unknown.
