The book has been prepared exclusively for undergraduate students as per the basic structure of VCI syllabus.  All the topics suggested by VCI have been covered with added advantage of related other topics.  Language of the book is simple and chapters are in classroom notes style.  Wherever applicable, the diagnostic methods being used by medicine people are mentioned to help the students and teachers in better way.

Lesser attention has been given by VCI on parasitic diseases.  However, in this book almost all the parasitic diseases of veterinary importance have been dealt in a way to cater to the need of users of the book.  Since our students seek job in far away countries, so some of the diseases of universal importance have been dealt in precise manner in this book.
