The second edition of this book has been revised with the same objective in mind that guided the first edition. That is, to provide the student with a textbook comprehensive enough to meet every need in systemic pathology as per the course outline prescribed by the Veterinary Council of India. The changes include:

    - All chapters have been thoroughly updated, but the digestive, endocrine, nervous, and reproductive chapters have been rewritten and the muscle chapter extensively revised.
    - Thirty four new photographs have been added to help understand the text discussions, where as the old illustrations have been either replaced or modified. The total number of figures has thus increased from 25 in the previous edition to 59 in this second edition.
    - Important words and certain portions of the text are given in bold for an easy grasp.
    - Presentation of 'Contents' has been improved, and in the 'Index', the numbers that indicate the main discussion are put in bold type for an easy search.

It is hoped this revised edition would be very helpful to the students.
