Systems Biology, Genetics and Livestock Science - by Norman Glasser (Hardcover)

About the Book

Livestock science consists of the study of breeding, nutrition, health and management of domestic animals. It aims to optimise production efficiency, enhance animal welfare and ensure sustainable practices in meat, milk, and fibre production. Systems biology employs computational models to study how genes, proteins and cells interact dynamically, offering insights into health and disease. Genetics explores heredity, DNA and genetic traits, crucial for understanding evolution and health. Livestock science applies these insights to optimise breeding, nutrition and health management of domestic animals. By integrating these fields, researchers enhance livestock production efficiency while ensuring animal welfare and sustainability. This holistic approach not only improves meat, milk, and fibre production but also deepens our understanding of biological systems, advancing innovations in agriculture and biomedicine. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of systems biology and livestock science. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with biological systems and their applications will benefit alike from this book.
