Hardcover. Zustand: New. Animal Biotechnology is the study of the techniques of manipulating the genetic material to achieve the desired effects in animals. This book extensively deals with the basics and recent developments in Animal Biotechnology in a simplified manner. The detailed and systematic discussion about each topic with illustrations and examples would help the readers to understand the different aspects of Animal Biotechnology. Genetics is a fascinating field of biological science that offers a lot of scope for the welfare of mankind. Animal geneticists are involved with studying genes and improving the heritability of desired traits in animal populations. Animal geneticists may be responsible for developing selective breeding programs, conducting genetic research, developing strategies to improve heritability of desirable traits (such as increased milk production in dairy cattle or higher carcass weight in beef cattle), studying population genetics, and mapping the genomes of various species. The book is intended primarily for undergraduates and postgraduates in biology, botany and biotechnology, whereas it can be used as a reference for researchers and post-doctoral students, university professors and instructors.
