Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This fascinating book is a valuable guide for farmers and the general public concerned about the overuse of nonnatural medicine, herbicides, and insecticides in farm management and animal husbandry. The author, Juliette de Baïracli Levy, offers detailed directions for treating all farm animals with natural methods, while stating her evidence that "mechanized" farming methods have led to the demise of domesticated animals' overall health. She asserts that poor and inadequate natural habitat, unnatural feeding practices, and a reliance on medicine to fight individual symptoms of disease without addressing the whole animal have weakened farm animals' innate disease-fighting ability. Her argument for a return to reliance on the natural and away from the synthetic and artificial rearing and feeding methods of farm animals becomes more urgent and relevant given the outbreaks of "mad cow disease" and other ailments caused by these practices. This book, used in conjunction with proper consultation with a veterinarian, can help animal owners and farmers move back to natural and healthy farming practices. --Julia King

Review

“Every farmer should have this book...it could help us to avoid some of the mistakes stemming from unlimited uses of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, antibiotics and the like.” ―Farmer's Weekly

More than enough information on herbal chicken care to whet my appetite and want to read more!

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a classic. After deciding to raise backyard chickens, and wanting to do it much like my grandparents did, I started searching for old-timers methods and other natural remedies and preventives. This book doesn't have a huge section on using herbs in chicken keeping, but it has the basics and was more than enough to whet my appetite to continue to do more reading and research. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to raise happy, healthy chickens...naturally.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is not quite what I expected. There is very little information about dosage and most every herb is generalized by “a couple handfuls” of herbs for whatever treatment and there are not specific guidelines for brewing herb potions. Still there is helpful information, but I feel the author does not have an accurate understanding of the lives of animals, but rather associates the butchering of them with inhuman torture and recounts a story of horrified cattle driven to madness by fear in escaping a near encounter with the butcher, and bases her whole perspective from this incident. This is not true of ethical butchering methods. For this reason and other ideas expressed in the book I cannot read it with full confidence in the authors accuracy of all treatments, discerning a lack of education and common sense about certain topics.

Must have reference if you have a homestead

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am soaking up all the wonderful information in this book. I'm excited to have this book in my collection. I have a lot of reference books because I don't like to depend on the internet for information. Who knows if we might not have access to the internet one day! I have books on herbal medicine and books about all the animals on our homestead. The herbal books don't go into dosage and usage on animals and the animal books for the most part don't talk about herbal remedies mostly modern remedies. I love that this book combines both my love for herbal remedies and animals in one book. my only con would be that I wish there were pictures because I'm a visual person and pictures help to hold my attention. lol

Not much info on beekeeping

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this book based on her referencing (and recommending get this book for) beekeeping in her book for dogs and cats. There is one short chapter at the end of the book for bees. She states to keep bees a natural way, dont requeen and dont feed them sugar those are abt the only suggestions.;:/ She mentions to feed them vinegar; however, does not provide details like how much, when and how long. More detailed info would have been helpful.

this looks like a life-saver

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

So far I've referenced the book for a few different things. As a general guide to potential problems on the farm, this looks like a life-saver! If I come to notice anything majorly erroneous I'll update my review.

My only warning is that I ordered this book "NEW" from Amazon, LLC. and I got a lightly used book. Not worth returning, but buyer beware.

As a ranching woman I'm always looking for homemade remedies when calling the vet isn't an option. This is a treasury of old knowledge including some things my grandmother used in her day. I couldn't do without it.

Helpful and good reference point.

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2013

Having so many animals for pleasure or food does lead one to adopt an attitude of vigilance towards animals health and needs. As many animals could quite easily survive in a natural environment as oppose to our mankind created environments for them, even for those of us with the best of intentions, having this book can help one place some emphasis on the animals natural/original health and needs rather than what we may think they need. We have to adapt our mankind environments more towards a natural/original environment that can sustain and benefit the animals natural instinct. So many times we try too force animals to live in our mankind environments and treat them our way when at heart, it does more damage and cruelty than good. I enjoy this book and have followed, with great success many of the treatments with our animals both great and small.

Brilliant book but don't buy for pigs

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

I love this book and keep a copy at hand. It was obviously Juliette's vocation to work with herbs and treat animals - there's not much this woman didn't make it her business to know. Much of what she says is common sense and based on knowledge from an era gone by, some of which, I imagine, is in danger of being lost over time. You would need to work with seasons to gather the herbs she suggests and then make up the concoctions yourself. It is set out by species, but if you want to treat pigs, you have to refer to the section on goats. If you've lost faith in your vet's treatment of your animals, this is a great alternative and also looks at how to keep them healthy to prevent illness. It's brilliant.
