Current Progress in Animal Breeding Carlos Hassey

The science of animal breeding deals with the study of evaluation of the genetic value of livestock. It also explores selective breeding methodologies of animals to produce desirable traits in subsequent generations of the target species. The scientific techniques of animal breeding incorporate the principles of population genetics, quantitative genetics and molecular genomics. In the era of rapid population inflation, implementation of animal breeding programs is essential for meeting rising global demands of food and resources. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the principles and practices of animal breeding. The researches included in this book discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. It includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field. This book is a research guide for experts as well as students.
