Download or read book Genetic Data Analysis for Plant and Animal Breeding written by Fikret Isik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills the gap between textbooks of quantitative genetic theory, and software manuals that provide details on analytical methods but little context or perspective on which methods may be most appropriate for a particular application. Accordingly this book is composed of two sections. The first section (Chapters 1 to 8) covers topics of classical phenotypic data analysis for prediction of breeding values in animal and plant breeding programs. In the second section (Chapters 9 to 13) we provide the concept and overall review of available tools for using DNA markers for predictions of genetic merits in breeding populations. With advances in DNA sequencing technologies, genomic data, especially single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, have become available for animal and plant breeding programs in recent years. Analysis of DNA markers for prediction of genetic merit is a relatively new and active research area. The algorithms and software to implement these algorithms are changing rapidly. This section represents state-of-the-art knowledge on the tools and technologies available for genetic analysis of plants and animals. However, readers should be aware that the methods or statistical packages covered here may not be available or they might be out of date in a few years. Ultimately the book is intended for professional breeders interested in utilizing these tools and approaches in their breeding programs. Lastly, we anticipate the usage of this volume for advanced level graduate courses in agricultural and breeding courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture that is concerned with the selective breeding, caring and raising of livestock for meat, milk, leather, eggs, etc. A wide variety of animals are raised for their products. Some of the commonly raised animals include cow, sheep, goat and pig. Species such as llama, rabbit, horse, guinea pig, etc. are also raised as livestock in some parts of the world. Modern animal husbandry focuses on intensive farming practices for meeting market demand. Animal breeding strives to ensure higher growth rate, low feed consumption for each unit of growth, prolificness, higher yields, etc. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer are common practices that are used today. This textbook is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of animal husbandry and livestock management. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to raising livestock. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.

Download or read book New Technologies in Animal Breeding written by B G Brackett and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Technologies in Animal Breeding looks at new reproductive technologies in breeding domestic animals, such as sex selection, frozen storage of oocytes and embryos, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, amphibian nuclear transplantation, parthenogenesis, identical twins and cloning in mammals, and gene transfer in mammalian cells. It summarizes the state-of-the art and offers perspectives on future directions for several animal industries of great importance in food production, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, poultry breeding, and aquaculture. Organized into five sections encompassing 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of animals in society and perspectives on animal breeding. It then discusses the animal industries that are heavily dependent on reproductive technology, including those engaged in cloning, selfing, aquaculture, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. It also explains the developing technologies as well as their potential applications and impacts on animal production, along with special economic considerations, such as the benefits of reproductive management, synchronization of estrus, and artificial insemination of beef cattle and sheep. The final chapter considers biomedical and agricultural research, implementation of new technologies in animal breeding, and research in animal reproduction. This book is an essential reference for scientists and researchers interested in animal science and animal reproduction.

Download or read book Principles and Applications of Domestic Animal Behavior written by Edward O. Price and published by CABI. This book was released on 2008 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to understand and manage animals in their natural or captive environments we must first understand why animals do what they do and recognize limitations in their ability to adapt to different environments. Drawing on the author's considerable experience in both teaching and research, this introductory-level textbook describes the basic principles underlying animal behavior and how those concepts can be used in managing the care of domestic and captive wild animals, covering four key themes: development of behavior, biological rhythms, social behavior and behavioral aspects of animal management. Extensively illustrated with many practical examples and over 150 photos and figures, the book will be essential reading for animal science and veterinary students.
