Reproductive Technologies in Farm Animals

Farming systems are becoming increasingly likely to depend on research programmes to ensure their production methods and techniques form a system that is both socially acceptable and sustainable. Drawing on this interplay between farming and research, the new edition of this popular textbook provides an updated account of the key techniques employed in manipulating reproduction in farm animals. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, it places due emphasis on techniques developed or improved over the last decade. A valuable textbook for students and academics in the animal and veterinary science fields, it covers technologies for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, buffaloes, camelids, horses and poultry.
