Poonam Yadav. The Manual covers the practical syllabus of undergraduate course as well as post graduate of General Veterinary Gynaecology and Reproductive Techniques. The Manual written by the authors is a good attempt which is based on their experience of teaching undergraduate courses and study of post graduate degree programme. The language used in the manual is simple and lucid. The outline and description of practical exercises of the subject that include objectives, materials required, procedures and observations to be taken have been nicely presented which would be helpful in conducting practical’s more effectively. We hope this manual makes its own place in the libraries of Agricultural and Veterinary Universities along with various Livestock Institutions in near future.
