Description
Most consumable products of animal origin, such as eggs and milk, are obtained through exploitation of the reproductive processes of livestock,
making efficiency extremely important in intensive production units. Critical evaluation of each technological innovation in this field
is necessary before widespread introduction, and this requires an extensive knowledge of reproductive biology.
This volume presents
comprehensive, current discussions of the individual aspects comprising the complete reproductive process in domesticated animals, covering
various technological procedures for regulation and manipulation of particular events. It provides extensive coverage of reproductive
anatomy and includes avian reproduction, supplying original and often innovative figures. This book will be of great value to agriculturalists
and veterinarians as well as to food and environmental scientists.
