Well written,
This review is from: Applied Animal Reproduction (6th Edition) (Paperback)
I went to Mississippi State University and majored in Dairy Science. Dr. Fuquay was my advisor and professor. He is a very knowledgeable man. Dr. Fuquay has a knack for teaching. This book is one of the best books I've read on reproduction.

Applied Animal Reproduction,
By Brittany Proctor (Sylmar, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Animal Reproduction (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
Was a very good book for those with iterest on how repoduction in animals works. The first chapters help to better understand the book rather then assuming that everyone knows all the tec. terms.
