Publisher Description: Building on the successful structure of the first edition, the second edition of Reproductive Technologies in Farm Animals has been totally updated and revised to provide up-to-date accounts of the key techniques employed in manipulating reproduction in farm animals, including beef and dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, buffaloes, camelids, horses, and poultry. A classic introductory text to the subject, the book is based on a comprehensive review of the current literature. It: outlines different agricultural systems and explores the ethical implications of modern farming methods; details many new developments, including the commercial application of sexed semen and large-scale application of in vitro produced cattle embryos; and provides a valuable synopsis of current and future reproductive technologies, such as cloning and the production of transgenic animals. |
