Ordering information

A tremendously useful book covering reproductive physiology of both camels and South American camelids. While the primary emphasis is on camels, the similarities between these camels and camelids and the various sections on llamas and alpacas make this book a unique resource for veterinarians working with camels, llamas, and alpacas. Numerous color plates detail external and internal aspects of these animals. There's nothing else of this kind and certainly not of this scope available on this particular topic. Extremely detailed and useful information.

The book is marketed by the Moroccan Veterinary Association and the proceeds will go to camelid research.

Dr. Tibary is currently in the United States at Washington State University, Pullman, WA. His email address is tibary@vetmed.wsu.edu. Please do NOT send him orders for this book, as it must be ordered directly from Moracco as described below.
