Description
This reference on veterinary embryology covers general embryology, i.e. the development from the formation of the gametes over fertilization
and initial embryogenesis up to the stage where organ formation is initiated, and special embryology, i.e. the development of the organ
systems. Moreover, the book also includes a section on teratology, one on assisted reproductive technologies and one on veterinary and
societal aspects. Written with the veterinary student in mind, this textbook is written in an accessible style with high quality colour
illustrations and line drawings.
Audience
veterinary students
