Clinical Cases

In this section you can find pictures, videos and articles which refer to the clinical records related to the authors' bovine herds.
You can find both individual and more animals or even herd-related cases.
Regarding the material under the title Clinical Cases (series of pictures and videos) we choose as a title the phrases the breeder uses to ask for out intervention, describing the symptoms showed by the animals. Therefore, we won't reveal the possible pathology; this will allow us to describe a diagnostic path, underlining for each case the most important phases, necessary to reach the definitive o presumptive diagnosis and, obviously, the prognosis.
