The growing awareness of the importance of prevention and treatment of diseases in animals and poultry has put extra demand on veterinary pharmaceuticals and biologicals etc. As a consequence recent years have seen.a tremendous spurt in the production of veterinary biologicals and pharmaceuticals and a large number of renowned drug companies, hitherto, producing drugs for human use only, have entered into production of drugs for veterinary use. The number of veterinary pharmaceutical products and companies producing them have gone so high that it has virtually become impossible for the present day veterinarian especially the practicing veterinarian and students to keep track of new companies entering the market and additions of drugs now and then. Efforts, therefore. Have been made in this publication to present useful information, on about 75 pharmaceutical companies. 1000 propriety and non-propriety products with their composition, indications and dosage and about 80 biological products and sera etc. in the form of a compendium for ready reference of veterinary clinicians and students. The book consists of two broad sections viz veterinary biologicals and pharmaceutics. Complete information on vaccines and sera. Veterinary preparations with therapeutic and brand name index. Alphabetical index of pharmaceutical drugs. Product information and alphabetical index of pharmaceutical companies etc. has been covered under the two heads. A separate section on medical products found useful and commonly used in veterinary practice has also been added. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given and make it exhaustive to be useful.
