Description
The Energy And Resources Institute Textbook of Animal Biotechnology (Pb) by Singh B Et Al
Animal biotechnology is an integral component of agriculture. Applicable in science and engineering, it is used for modifying living organisms. Textbook of Animal Biotechnology discusses topics including economically important livestock breeds, paradigm shifts in livestock production, biotechnology in animal nutrition and in livestock-assisted reproduction. Genomics and genetic engineering tools in livestock production and management are also discussed at length.Divided into 41 chapters, the book is supported with over 50 figures and more than 30 tables. A must have for undergraduates and postgraduates of various agriculture and animal husbandry academia, teachers, professionals, it will also prove helpful for researchers dealing with basic as well as applied animal sciences including biotechnology, nutrition, physiology, and reproduction.Key Features:• Provides cutting-edge technologies in livestock and fish production• Gives various aspects of biotechniques aimed to improve fish nutrition, stem cell technology, and transgenesis• Explains food and dairy biotechnologyContents:Preface1.
