{"product_id":"2940151655026","title":"Homeopathy for the Herd: A Farmer's Guide to Low-Cost, Non-Toxic Veterinary Care of Cattle","description":"Over the past 50 years, a dangerous set of technologies has crept into beef and dairy farms and ranches. Technologists have succeeded in pushing the pounds of milk that can be extracted from a cow higher and higher and throwing pounds of weight on beef cattle faster. But these advances came with a price.\u003cbr\u003eThe average age of dairy cow \"burnout\" has dropped for almost a decade. Infections are rampant. New diseases and health maladies have appeared. Drug use and vet bills have skyrocketed. The healthfulness of milk and beef has been questioned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this breakthrough book subtitled A Farmer's Guide to Low-Cost, Non-Toxic Veterinary Care of Cattle, Dr. Sheaffer passes along his hard-learned knowledge - in language farmers can understand - of how to care for the herd in a healthy, holistic manner. Utilizing homeopathy - an effective, non-toxic form of medicine derived from herbs and other natural substances - as well as other healing alternatives, he will teach you to truly understand the cause behind a disease condition, and then how to treat the entire animal for that condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing case studies and practical examples from both dairy and beef operations, Dr. Sheaffer covers such topics as: creating a holistic operation; organics and homeopathy; prescribing; mastitis and fertility-related problems; and the Materia Medica, keynotes and nosodes. Also includes a convenient section that lists specific conditions and remedies. Whether you're a beginning farmer of lifelong cattleman, this hands-on guide will prove to be nothing short of a revolution for your herd.","brand":"Acres U.S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112956150000,"sku":"2940151655026","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151655026_p0.jpg?v=1764013318","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151655026","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
