Opis zaczerpnięty z okładki:

"During the last two decades major advances have been made in mammalian genetics. New methods in molecular biology and cytogentics, and in biotechnology have been developed. Many of these have been applied to investigating the genetics of sheep and to improving the production od wool, meat and milk.

This book is a comprehensive reference work on sheep genetics. All relevant topics have been included, from fundamental genetic structure to the genetics of various production and other traits, to transgenic sheep and genetic conservation. Chapters have been specially commisioned for the volume by internationally recognized experts from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The book will be invaluable to advanced students and research workers in animal genetics, breeding and biotechnology.
