Synopsis

Addressing principles associated with breeding animals for enhanced health and resistance to specific diseases, this new edition provides an updated review of the field and is illustrated with examples covering many diseases of importance to livestock production across all major livestock species. Authored by experts in the field, the book covers techniques and approaches, viruses, TSEs, bacteria, parasites, vectors, and broader health issues seen in production systems, including metabolic diseases.

About the Author

is Professor of Animal Disease Genetics at the University of Edinburgh, and a group leader within University's Roslin Institute and Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. Over a period of 20 years he has made major contributions to disease genetics across many livestock species, including sheep, pigs, dairy cattle, goats, chickens and Atlantic salmon. Further, he has been active in bringing epidemiological concepts to animal disease genetics. These concepts have been used to predict outcomes of breeding programmes for disease resistance and to more fully analyse and interpret disease data.
