About the Book

"Animal genetics is a central topic in upper-level animal science programs. Filling a void in existing literature on animal science, Animal Genetics introduces genetic principles and presents their application in production and companion animals. The book details population and quantitative genetics, epigenetics, biotechnology, and breeding among other topics. Useful in upper-level studies, Animal Genetics is an irreplaceable educational resource"--

Book Synopsis

Die Tiergenetik ist ein zentrales Thema in Wissenschaftsprogrammen für höhere Semester. Animal Genetics füllt eine Lücke im bestehenden Literaturkanon: genetische Prinzipien und deren Anwendung bei Nutz- und Haustieren werden vorgestellt. Ausführlich behandelt werden u.a. die Populations- und quantitative Genetik, die Epigenetik, Biotechnologie und Zucht. Als Lehrwerk für höhere Semester ist Animal Genetics unersetzlich.
