Animal Breeding and Infertility provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of reproduction in farm animals including goats and horses.

Each chapter is dealt with by a subject specialist and takes a problem -orientated approach to issues such as infertility, diseases, and breeding management. Information is given in table form and text, with a clear, attractive layout making the book readily accessible.

While the book strives to remain practical and easily understandable, much of the detail is highly scientific and technical and goes beyond the interest of those involved in day-to-day farming.

In particular the final chapter on biotechnology deals strictly with the science and avoids any interpretation or comment on the ethics of this controversial subject.

Suited to veterinary surgeons, specialist breeders and students as a reference book on a wide range of issues, Animal Breeding and Infertility is an excellent source of information on this diverse subject.
