About this book
Domestic Animals by Richard Lamb Allen gives histories and descriptions of horses, mules, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, and farm dogs. The book offers directions for management, breeding, crossing, rearing, feeding, and preparation for a profitable market, together with diseases and remedies. The discussion of general form recommends a well-formed neck, a short, straight, broad back, sound joints, and strong bones that are not large.
The discussion of fleece explains that abundant nutrition enlarges the wool fibre, while limited nutrition makes the fibre smaller. The advice on sheep calls for a full supply of salt and identifies entire cleanliness and dryness as essential to the flock's health.
