William O. Reece, DVM, PhD is University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, at Iowa State University of Science and Technology in Ames, Iowa, USA.
 
Eric W. Rowe, DVM, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, at Iowa State University of Science and Technology in Ames, Iowa, USA
Now in its Fifth Edition, Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals provides a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology, taking an interconnected approach to structure and function of the horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken.
 
* Offers a readable introduction to basic knowledge in domestic animal anatomy and physiology
* Covers equine, canine, feline, bovine, ovine, ruminant, swine, and poultry anatomy and physiology
* Considers structure and function in relation to each other for a full understanding of the relationship between the two
* Provides pedagogical tools to promote learning, including chapter outlines, study questions, self-evaluation exercises, clinical correlates, key terms, suggested readings, and a robust art program
* Includes access to a companion website with video clips, review questions, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint
