Progress in Sheep and Goat Research

A number of issues are addressed in this book including: reproduction and biotechnology (artificial insemination and embryo transfer, and production of transgenic sheep for improved wool production), nutrition (e.g. ewe nutrition during gestation and lactation), growth and physiology (e.g. regulation of fetal development) and animal health (scrapic, lentivirus diseases and immunity to parasites). There are also chapters on foraging strategies, on wool and fiber production, and on selection for lean meat production. The book provides a valuable overview for senior students, lecturers, research workers and industry professionals in animal science and veterinary medicine.Speedy, A. is the author of 'Progress in Sheep and Goat Research', published 1992 under ISBN 9780851987729 and ISBN 0851987729.
