Genetics is a difficult subject to understand and even more difficult to put into practice on the farm. Increasing pressure is put on farmers to improve the performance of their livestock and this established textbook explains the theoretical basis of Mendelism, population genetics, selection and breeding and their applications on the farm. The fourth edition has been completely revised with expanded sections on practical breeding of cattle, sheep and pigs and new information on horses, goats, alpacas and dogs.
Practical Animal Husbandry presents a contemporary framework of the main subject divisions of animal husbandry. Chapters are devoted to the discussion of handling of animals; the breeding of domestic livestock; the growth and development of animals; reproduction processes such as egg-laying in poultry, milk production in cows, sheep and goats; the right amount and the right quality of food; confinement and shelter for all types of domesticated livestock; and preventive medicine and animal welfare. Husbandsmen, veterinarians, and livestock producers will find the book highly informative.
