{"product_id":"the-genetics-of-cattle-dorian-garrick-9781780642215","title":"The Genetics of Cattle","description":"Since the time of domestication more than 10,000 years ago, cattle have played an increasingly crucial role in the development of human civilizations. Progress has been quite remarkable since the turn of the century; the sequencing of the bovine genome in 2009 launched new avenues for furthering our understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of cattle genetics.Covering a vast array of questions, this book reviews major topics from molecular and developmental genetics, disease resistance and immunogenetics to genetic improvement of dairy and beef breeds, addressing all current problems in the field. This second edition includes a new team of authors and completely new chapters on the genetics of fat production, nutrition, feed intake and efficiency, growth and body composition. Fully updated throughout, it provides a valuable resource on cattle genetics for researchers, breeders, veterinarians and postgraduate students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorian Garrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780642210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780642215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cab International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 1.70d","brand":"Dorian Garrick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088764743935,"sku":"9781780642215","price":305.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3916490c-50ac-4671-a20c-e8ddd76e9211.jpg?v=1769106491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genetics-of-cattle-dorian-garrick-9781780642215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
