Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals, 13th Edition, is a reference that presents detailed accounts of domestic animal function and dysfunction. The volume balances core physiological principles with clinical relevance and learning support.
The text addresses primary physiological systems, including neural signaling, fluid homeostasis, cardiovascular regulation, and muscle function. It also examines specialized areas such as terrestrial animal exercise physiology, ruminant digestive physiology, and avian digestion.
To aid veterinary preparation, the book incorporates clinical correlations, notes of relevance, and practice-oriented self-assessment questions. A companion website supplies review questions, answers, and PowerPoint slides featuring the volume's illustrations.
