Description
The theory and application of mammalian genetics have evolved rapidly over the last decades creating fresh insights into biology and methods of genetic improvement of domestic animals. Since the publication of the 1st edition of this book this field of science has undergone the genomic revolution and entered into the post-genomic era. These monumental changes led to significant shifts in the science and practice of genetics in the pig industry. The second edition of "The Genetics of the Pig" provides comprehensive coverage of all essential topics in pig genetics, genomics, selection and breeding. The book was written by internationally recognized experts from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The book is an invaluable source of information for advanced students and researchers in animal genetics and breeding, as well as livestock producers and veterinarians.
