The volume covers scientific principles and applications includes the current science used to advance cattle, poultry, swine,sheep, and equine populations, as well as the future role of techniques such as gene editing. International leaders in the field explain foundational concepts such as heritability, the covariance between relatives, statistical approaches to predicting the genetic merit of individuals, and the development and advancement of molecular techniques to elucidate changes in the DNA sequence that underly phenotypic variation. The use of genetic-based tools to improve animal agriculture and meet consumer demands across species is treated in detail. Readers will gain an understanding of how global livestock producers have implemented advanced genetic selection tools and used them to improve reproduction, production, efficiency, health, and sustainability. The interactions of genetics and production environments, and the genetic components of the complex interactions among animals are also discussed. The future of Animal Breeding and Genetics, including the challenges and opportunities that exist in feeding a growing world population, are addressed. 001453213 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 9, 2022). 001453213 650_0 $$aAnimal breeding. 001453213 650_0 $$aDomestic animals$$xGenetics. 001453213 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453213 7001_ $$aSpangler, Matthew L.$$eeditor. 001453213 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781071624609 001453213 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z1071624598$$z9781071624593$$w(OCoLC)1302576355 001453213 830_0 $$aEncyclopedia of sustainability science and technology series,$$x2629-2386 001453213 852__ $$bebk 001453213 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-0716-2460-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001453213 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1453213$$pGLOBAL_SET 001453213 980__ $$aBIB 001453213 980__ $$aEBOOK 001453213 982__ $$aEbook 001453213 983__ $$aOnline 001453213 994__ $$a92$$bISE
